[aosd-discuss] Is there a standard .Net Aspect software package?

[Corpening, Owen]

WOW you mean you use either Castle or nAspect in production!!!??

 

That's what I'm talkin' about. It takes a bit of effort to evaluate each
in turn and there are precious few reviews about .net aspect tools.

 

"Great" is then in the eye of the beholder: like I said if bugs don't
get fixed and source is not available ... a year ago EOS was good but
with 1-2 developers it was easy for someone to be out-of-the-office and
you just had to wait.

 

I will try Castle then nAspect based on your suggestion.

 

I definitely need production use - like AspectJ.

 

Thanks,

owen

Nearly all will work with 2.0 (the dynamic proxy based ones anyways
which is about 90% of them). They will just not necesarily support
generics in a full way.

 

They operate on closed types so you will still be able to proxy closed
types as you used to. They will not however allow you to proxy generic
types (or to use generic arguments when defining point cuts)

 

ex: instead of saying that you would like to attach an interceptor to

 

List<int>.Add() where it would only apply to generic instances of List
where T was an int

 

you would have to instead use

 

public class Foo : List<int> {

}

 

then apply to your closed class.
 

Other than that rather large missing but of functionality most should
work great.

 

Castle Project's Dynamic Proxy and nAspect are from what I know both
under active development. I know castle is working towards a version
2.0. I have been working on one with full generic support but there are
alot of fringe conditions to think through especially dealing with
mixins and generic proxy reuse. 

 

I have never has the courage to use EOS in a production environment so I
can't really speak on it beyond the trivial examples I have used it for.

Seems to me like .Net Aspect development fell off a cliff about 2 years
ago.

 

Are any of the .Net tools still being updated, do any of them work well,
is there a consensus similar to AspectJ being a consensus of sorts in
java? 

 

I successfully used EOS over a year ago but I question whether any of
the .Net packages work of each new release of visual studio, and are in
any way supported. 

 

Open source? EOS was not ...
