ImportMemberAttribute Class

Custom attribute that, when applied to an instance field of an aspect class, determines that this field should be bound to a method, event or property, of the target class of this aspect. Valid types for fields are a concrete System.Delegate (to bind to a method), Property<TValue> or Property<TValue, TIndex> (to bind to a property), or Event<TDelegate> (to bind to an event).

Inheritance
ImportMemberAttribute
Namespace: PostSharp.Aspects.Advices
Assembly: PostSharp.dll
Syntax
public sealed class ImportMemberAttribute : Advice
Remarks

Fields annotated with the ImportMemberAttribute custom attribute must be public and must not be read only.

At runtime, these fields are assigned to a delegate (in case of method binding) or a pair of delegates (in case of event or property binding) allowing to invoke the imported member.

When IsRequired property is set to true and the target type does not contain a member of the required name and signature, then a build error will be raised.

When multiple member names are specified, the first existing member satisfying all conditions is used.
