Classes

Advice

AdviceInstance

Advice is not represented by classes in Metalama, but can be added using methods of IAdviceFactory.

AdviceParameterAttribute

In Metalama, there is no declarative way to bind advice parameters. Instead, Metalama uses a programmatic approach, where the advice can get the desired value using the code model. In Metalama, template parameters can be marked as compile-time using CompileTimeAttribute, otherwise they are run-time. Run-time parameters must match the target parameter by name. Compile-time parameters must be supplied by the advice factory method (see IAdviceFactory).

ArgumentAttribute

In Metalama, run-time advice parameters are matched by name, not by index. If you need to get a parameter by index, use meta.Target.Parameters[index].Value. from the template.

ArgumentsAttribute

In Metalama, do not use a parameter but use meta.Target.Parameters.ToValueArray() from the template implementation.

AspectInitializationReason

There is no equivalent to this advice in Metalama because there is no concept of run-time aspect initialization.

AsyncCallIdAttribute

There is no equivalent in Metalama. You need to generate, in the template, code that assigns a local variable to a value that is unique within the process.

AwaitedMethodAttribute

There is no equivalent in Metalama, and there is currently no way to implement this feature differently.

AwaitedTaskAttribute

There is no equivalent in Metalama, and there is currently no way to implement this feature differently.

AwaiterAttribute

There is no equivalent in Metalama, and there is currently no way to implement this feature differently.

BindingAttribute

Bindings do not exist in Metalama. Instead, use invokers (e.g. IMethod.) to generate run-time code that invokes the desired method or accesses the property or event.

CopyCustomAttributesAttribute

In Metalama, all custom attributes except Metalama ones are copied from the template to the introduced declaration.

CurrentTaskAttribute

There is no equivalent in Metalama, and there is currently no way to implement this feature differently.

CustomAttributeOverrideAction

In Metalama, use OverrideStrategy.

DeclarationIdentifierAttribute

There is no equivalent to this feature in Metalama, but you can use a template to generate equivalent code.

DeclarationNameAttribute

In Metalama, use the IMember.Name property.

Event<TDelegate>

In PostSharp, this class allowed the run-time code of the aspect to access an event in the target code. In Metalama, no run-time helper is required because the template directly generates run-time code. Use IEvent. to generate run-time code for any event.

EventAccessor<TDelegate>

In PostSharp, this delegate allowed the run-time code of the aspect to access an event in the target code. In Metalama, no run-time helper is required because the template directly generates run-time code. Use IEvent. to generate run-time code for any event.

FlowBehaviorAttribute

In Metalama, there is no need for FlowBehavior because the template is in full control of the generated code.

GroupingAdvice

ImportLocationAdviceInstance

In Metalama, members of the target declaration do not need to be imported into the aspect. Instead, the aspect accesses the target code using dynamic code or invokers. To generate code that accesses a field or property, use IFieldOrProperty. or IFieldOrProperty..Value.

ImportMemberAdviceInstance

In Metalama, members of the target declaration do not need to be imported into the aspect. Instead, the aspect accesses the target code using dynamic code or invokers.

ImportMemberAttribute

In Metalama, members of the target declaration do not need to be imported into the aspect. Instead, the aspect accesses the target code using dynamic code or invokers. To generate code that calls a method, use IMethod.. To generate code that accesses a field or property, use IFieldOrProperty. or IFieldOrProperty..Value.

ImportMemberOrder

In Metalama, equivalent to . You can pass an to the . method.

ImportMethodAdviceInstance

In Metalama, members of the target declaration do not need to be imported into the aspect. Instead, the aspect accesses the target code using dynamic code or invokers. To generate code that calls a method, use IMethod..
