@JoshKorn,

If you were to use PostSharp to weave new aspects into the SharePoint assemblies, you'd be unsigning them (and thus removing their PublicKeyToken). That would obviously not work very well with your SharePoint-install.

There's no real way to modify the SP .NET code once its loaded, since by the time *your* code is called, the target CIL has already been compiled into native code by the CLR. You could use a native interception API, but that would be as hairy as a mammoth, and unlikely to work as you want it to.

Sorry :-)

I'll contrive an example. Let's say that for some reason, I really need to do some initialization to a newly-added site (perhaps involving setting up permissions). But SPWebEventReceiver only has an WebAdding event, but no WebAdded event.

What I'd like to do is aspect the relevant code in Sharepoint itself (I'd use Reflector and the Developer Dashboard to figure out where that is).

Of course, I'd like to use PostSharp to do this.

What I was really asking was whether it was possible to aspect some of the Sharepoint assemblies themselves, and whether you've already tried something like this.

Thanks

@JoshKorn,

Which events would you like? PostSharp, or other similar tools, may indeed be of help - but that depends on what exactly you want :-)

Yes, I'm using the latest version.

I wonder if PostSharp can be used to implement some or all of the events that Sharepoint should provide but doesn't.

Are you working with the latest Postsharp version?
