OnExit is not entering via PostSharp in asp.net project.

Question

Hi there,

I have setup PostSharp and it appears to be working but i don't get it entering OnExit (i have logged setup to ensure it is working) ...

Its a bit tricky to configure with asp.net - or is it just me ... I am using the 1.5 new version

I basically have the following in my web.config and i had to add the SearchPath otherwise it can't find my assemblies

  <postsharp directory="C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.5" trace="true">
   <parameters>
     <!--<add name="parameter-name" value="parameter-value"/>-->
   </parameters>
   <searchPath>
     <!-- Always add the binary folder to the search path. -->
     <add name="bin" value="~\bin"/>
   </searchPath>

 </postsharp>

I have set tracing on but what is strange to me is that it appears to build to the temp directory, maybe this is my issue, i am unsure .. hence i do F5 ... Is it possible to name the Output directory and output file?? As you can see it is editing a DLL in the temp dir so IIS is no longer in control so it doesn't execute it ???

Confused! :-)

PostSharp.AspNet implement IAssemblyPostProcessor. The path is passed ASP.NET. What PostSharp does it that it creates a temp subdirectory in this directory passed by ASP.NET, writes its output there, then copies the output back to the input.

There is no way to change this mechanism (and I don't see any reason anyway).
