Question

I have some code I would like to simplify.
Here is the code:

private int id;
public int Id
{
    get { return id; }
    set
    {
        id = value;
        base.OnPropertyChanged("Id");
    }
}

I was thinking using an Attribute to only get:

[RaiseOnPropertyChanged()]
public int Id { get; set; }

How can that be done? Or can it be done using an attribute?

Alas, you can’t do that within the confines of C# itself; you’ll need to manipulate things at the IL level to get what you want. However, you can use aspect-oriented techniques like that provided by PostSharp to get the desired result.
