EventInterceptionAspect Class
Aspect that, when applied on an event, intercepts invocations of its semantics Add (OnAddHandler(EventInterceptionArgs)),
Remove (OnRemoveHandler(EventInterceptionArgs)) and Invoke (OnInvokeHandler(EventInterceptionArgs)).

public abstract class EventInterceptionAspect : EventLevelAspect, IEventLevelAspectBuildSemantics, IAspectBuildSemantics, IValidableAnnotation, IEventInterceptionAspect, IEventLevelAspect, IAspectRemarks
Applying an aspect of type EventInterceptionAspect to an event results in the add and remove
methods of the event to be replaced by a call to OnAddHandler(EventInterceptionArgs) and OnRemoveHandler(EventInterceptionArgs), respectively.
The original accessor body is moved into new methods, which the aspect code can call by invoking ProceedAddHandler()
or ProceedRemoveHandler().
The method OnInvokeHandler(EventInterceptionArgs), if defined, is called instead when the event is raised, once for every handler that has been added to the list. When you define OnInvokeHandler(EventInterceptionArgs) method, PostSharp will use a broker object to control access to the event; this broker object will be the unique subscriber of the event, and maintains its own list of subscribers.
note
The aspect works only when caller code access the event through its add/remove semantics. It does not work when the caller
code bypasses the event semantics and accesses directly its implementation (the underlying field of the event, typically). The C# compiler
is known to bypass the semantics when the event is accessed directly from the class declaring it (it accesses directly the private field
whenever it can).
note
All classes implementing IAspect should typically be marked as serializable using the SerializableAttribute or PSerializableAttribute custom attribute . Fields that are only used at runtime (and unknown at compile-time) should be carefully marked with the NonSerializedAttribute or PNonSerializedAttribute custom attribute. When PostSharp is used on a platform that does not support aspect serialization (such as .NET Compact Framework, Silverlight, or Windows Phone), or when another aspect serializer is used, it is not necessary to mark the aspect class as serializable.
