Question

I have inherited some legacy code that has every single method flanked with a:

Method()
{
   Log("Entering");
   ...
   Log("Exiting");
}

sort of thing. It’s ugly and Does indeed Repeat Myself about a thousand times. Is there a way to add a global “around_filter” like the one found in Rails?

Answer 1

This can be done via Aspect Oriented Programming via an aspect weaving tool like PostSharp. In the case of PostSharp, the OnMethodBoundaryAspect provides this type of functionality.
