Attributes are used to modify the runtime behavior of code in the .NET Framework. Applied .NET Attributes explores the application of .NET attributes and how developers can write custom attributes that provide the maximum level of code reuse and flexibility.Attributed programming is a feature of .NET that is still relatively unexplored and unknown. Because attributes are used to modify the runtime behavior of code in the .NET Framework, their use is extremely important and will become even more important over time. This insightful guide covers the fundamentals of attributes, common .NET attributes, the use of custom attributes, and advanced techniques.

This is the first book to describe the recent significant changes to the .NET compilation process and demonstrate how .NET developers can use the new Compiler API to create compelling applications. As an open source compiler, the Compiler API now makes its code available for anyone to use. In this book, you'll get a concise, focused view of this tremendous resource for developers, who can now use any part of the platform implementation to their advantage in analyzing applications, improving code generation, and providing enforceable patterns, all under an OSS model.You will learn how to analyze your code for defects in a fast, clean manner never available before. You'll work with solutions and projects to provide automatic refactoring, and you'll discover how you can generate code dynamically to provide application implementations at runtimeHaving the Compiler API available opens a number of doors for .NET developers that were either simply not there before, or difficult to achieve. However, the API is vast, and this concise book provides a valuable roadmap to this new development environment.What You Will Learn:Understand how to generate, compile, and execute code for a number of scenariosHow to create diagnostics and refactoring to help developers enforce conventions and design idiomsExperiment with the compiler code base and see what can be done to influence the inner workings of the compilation pipelineWho This Book Is For:Experienced .NET developers, but detailed compiler knowledge is not necessary.

Most .NET developers will use a high-level language, such as C# or VB .NET, to develop their systems. This language is the language of .NET-whatever is allowed by the .NET specifications can be done in CIL, and it can do much that C# and VB .NET cannot.

"e;It is also tempting to compile several different languages into the same inter- mediate language and use a common back end for the different front ends, thereby obtaining several compilers for one machine. However, because of subtle differences in the viewpoints of different languages, there has been only limited success in this direction."e; -Alfred V. Aho, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman, Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (Addison-Wesley Publishing Co., 1985) When I first saw .NET, I was overwhelmed by the influx of new ideas and concepts. Web developers were getting a vastly improved framework with ASP.NET and Web services. Visual Basic was getting a major overhaul with VB .NET, adding inheri- tance and free threading into the mix along with removing some long-standing BASIC compatibility. A new language was introduced-C#-that looked a lot like Java with some subtle yet substantial differences. Security was markedly improved, allowing users to prevent code from running based on the code itself and not just on the current user's credentials.
