Yeah - but WTF happened to the helium? As if you cared.

Understandable... It's very difficult to tell the difference between a golfer and a corpse. The golfer usually smells better, but you can't depend on that in every case.

I have successfully abused .Net attributes to add functionality instead of just metadata. Such is the life of an outlaw programmer. Granted, it was probably a waste of time, but hey, what's life without a little bit of whimsy?

So something like PostSharp, or something else?

Under construction.
I'm really eager to be bombarded with criticism about how I "shouldn't do that", or "that's already handled by this .Net construct/object/whiz-bang new feature" from people that are afraid that if they push the envelope, they'll get a paper cut.

I think the article is done, but I can't post it until I get home, because for some reason, I can't copy/paste into the editor from work - and this problem isn't just restricted to CP, so it's probably a DoD group policy that keeps it from working, probably having something to do with using javascript or some such nonsense.

I was trying to draw in the more sensitive people here. I figure if I use a frilly word, they'll be lulled into a false sense of safety and comfort.

Don't be fooled there is a softer, gentler side of JSOP. He is comfortable with colours like fuchsia and concepts like whimsy, he is just a softie at heart, despite his penchant for guns and muscle cars.
John you knew this was coming!!!

With John, it's more likely to be "Attitude-based programming."

As the story of Narcissus gazing into the Hippocrene spring on Mt. Helicon tells us: beware gazing at your own reflections.
Sounds intresting: how about showing some code over on the C# language forum, and explaining you had to resort to metadata/attributes/reflection ?

That's the funny part. I didn't have to resort to it. All the code that I wrote followed my vocalized derision when I read that "attributes aren't supposed to provide functionality". RUBBISH!
I'm writing an article, that could serve as both "how to do it", as well as "what not to do". I am a paradox.

Not so, Grasshopper. Some people are meant to exist merely as a warning to others.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...
