MulticastAttributeUsageAttribute Class

There is no full equivalent of this attribute in Metalama, and there will not be. To mark an aspect as inherited, use the InheritableAttribute custom attribute. To specify the eligibility of an aspect, implement the BuildEligibility(IEligibilityBuilder<T>) method.

Inheritance
MulticastAttributeUsageAttribute
Namespace: PostSharp.Extensibility
Assembly: Metalama.Migration.dll
Syntax
public sealed class MulticastAttributeUsageAttribute : Attribute

Constructors

Name Description
MulticastAttributeUsageAttribute()
MulticastAttributeUsageAttribute(MulticastTargets)

In Metalama, the valid targets are determined by the declaration types for which the IAspect<T> interface is implemented. Additionally, you can implement the BuildEligibility(IEligibilityBuilder<T>) method.

Properties

Name Description
AllowExternalAssemblies

Targeting external declarations is not supported in Metalama.

AllowMultiple

Metalama always allows multiple attributes, but only one is actually processed. The other instances are exposed in builder.AspectInstance.SecondaryInstances. It is up to the BuildAspect(IAspectBuilder<T>) implementation to handle the situation with many aspects.

Inheritance

To mark an aspect as inherited, use InheritableAttribute or implement IConditionallyInheritableAspect. Multicast inheritance is not supported in Metalama, but you can build a similar feature by making the aspect implement the IAspect<T> for INamedType and implement multicasting in the BuildAspect(IAspectBuilder<T>) method.

PersistMetaData

By default, custom attributes (metadata) are preserved in the code. To remove them, use the advice RemoveAttributes(IDeclaration, INamedType).

TargetExternalMemberAttributes

Applying an aspect to an external declaration is not supported in Metalama.

TargetExternalTypeAttributes

Applying an aspect to an external declaration is not supported in Metalama.

ValidOn

In Metalama, the valid targets are determined by the declaration types for which the IAspect<T> interface is implemented. Additionally, you can implement the BuildEligibility(IEligibilityBuilder<T>) method.
