转帖：Using PostSharp with Visual Studio 2010 Beta

Published 2009. 07. 16. by jozsef.olcsak

Because PostSharp 2 not announced yet, not available PostSharp installer for Visual Studio 2010. I found a blog entry which contains the instructions for using PostSharp without installing via MSI but it not works on VS 2010.

The first problem was the NullPointerException while building with PostSharp. After I googled that I found something useful. This is a known problem by PostSharp’s developers and the solution is the modify project file:

<PropertyGroup>
  <PostSharpUseCommandLine>true</PostSharpUseCommandLine>
</PropertyGroup>

There is a possible memory leak in PostSharp execution and the "PostSharUseCommandLine=True" forces PostSharp to use command-line utility. "A new process will be created for each invocation, so there can be surely be no memory leak in this time."

The second was that the PostSharp compiler does not work with .NET 4 assemblies at this moment (PostSharp 1.5). So you will downgrade your PostSharp enabled projects .NET version to 3.5. :(

The modified C# project file:

<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>
    <Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">AnyCPU</Platform>
    <ProductVersion>10.0.20506</ProductVersion>
    <SchemaVersion>2.0</SchemaVersion>
    <ProjectGuid>{AE544EFB-2842-4A41-BF6C-3038D2046E90}</ProjectGuid>
    <OutputType>Library</OutputType>
    <AppDesignerFolder>Properties</AppDesignerFolder>
    <RootNamespace>Bes.Core</RootNamespace>
    <AssemblyName>Bes.Core</AssemblyName>
    <TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>
...
  <PropertyGroup>
    <PostSharpUseCommandLine>True</PostSharpUseCommandLine>
    <DontImportPostSharp>True</DontImportPostSharp>
    <PostSharpDirectory>..\..\libs\PostSharp</PostSharpDirectory>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
  <Import Project="$(PostSharpDirectory)\PostSharp-1.5.targets" />

Using PostSharp without installing via the MSI

So, it took me forever today to figure out how to get PostSharp working without installing it 'globally' with the msi installer.
In a nutshell, you have to include a directory for example /lib/ with all of the PostSharp baggage:

• Default.psproj
• PostSharp.targets
• PostSharp-1.0.targets
• PostSharp-1.0.version
• PostSharp-AppDomain.config
• PostSharp-Platform.config
• PostSharp.Core.dll
• PostSharp.Core.pdb*
• PostSharp.Core.XmlSerializers.dll
• PostSharp.exe
• PostSharp.exe.config
• PostSharp.pdb*
• PostSharp.Laos.dll
• PostSharp.Laos.pdb*
• PostSharp.Laos.psplugin
• PostSharp.Laos.Weaver.dll
• PostSharp.Laos.Weaver.pdb*
• PostSharp.MSBuild.dll
• PostSharp.MSBuild.pdb*
• PostSharp.Public.dll
• PostSharp.Public.pdb*

* = Optional
Add a reference to the PostSharp.Laos and PostSharp.Public assemblies in your project.

Then you have to edit your .csproj file around the existing <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" /> section to be:
<PropertyGroup>
<DontImportPostSharp>True</DontImportPostSharp>
<PostSharpDirectory>lib\</PostSharpDirectory>
</PropertyGroup>
<Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
<Import Project="$(PostSharpDirectory)PostSharp.targets" />
