About this software

PostSharp is an MSIL-based aspect-oriented programming (AOP) framework for .NET that automates repetitive boilerplate by weaving aspects into compiled assemblies. It includes ready-made pattern libraries for logging, caching, MVVM, threading, and tools to create custom aspects. PostSharp integrates with build servers and Visual Studio and is maintained for compatibility with recent .NET versions, while the vendor recommends Metalama for new projects.

Licenses & prices

Frequently asked questions

What is Sharpcrafters PostSharp?
Sharpcrafters PostSharp is an aspect-oriented programming toolkit for .NET that injects reusable behaviors across codebases, letting developers factor cross-cutting concerns such as logging, caching, and exception handling into attributes and aspects.
How does PostSharp reduce boilerplate code?
By encapsulating repetitive logic in reusable aspects applied as attributes, PostSharp centralizes cross-cutting behaviors so individual methods and classes require less repetitive code for tasks like logging, validation, or error handling.
Can developers create custom aspects with PostSharp?
Yes. PostSharp supports authoring custom aspects that can be applied to methods, properties, or types, enabling reusable, project-specific behaviors such as custom logging, validation, or instrumentation.
How does PostSharp integrate with development workflows?
PostSharp integrates into .NET build workflows to apply aspects during compilation, producing modified assemblies that carry injected behavior and fit into standard testing and deployment pipelines.
What common cross-cutting concerns can it address?
Common concerns include logging, caching, authorization checks, transaction management, exception handling, and performance monitoring, implemented centrally via aspects rather than scattered code.
