Question

I’m intercepting method calls into a ContextBoundObject. Is there a way to get hold of the Type of the object I’m calling when in the message sink?

Say I’ve got a class

 [Intercept]  [Synchronization]  public class Test : ContextBoundObject  {     [Timeout(10010)]     public void Method()     {         // Do something     }  } 

In the message sink before the call is put through to Method is there someway to get hold of the Test type so I can query the custom attribute Timeout? eg

public IMessage SyncProcessMessage(IMessage msg) {       Type type = GetType(); // << Need to get hold of Test type here       object[] custom = type.GetMethod('Method').GetCustomAttributes(false);;       TimeoutAttribute ta = custom[0] as TimeoutAttribute;       int time = ta.Ticks;        IMessage returnedMessage = _nextSink.SyncProcessMessage(msg);       return returnedMessage; }

After a little messing I found it.

The type name is passed into SyncProcessMessage in the Properties dictionary in IMessage.

So the code above becomes

public IMessage SyncProcessMessage(IMessage msg) {       Type type = Type.GetType(msg.Properties['__TypeName'].ToString());        object[] custom = type.GetMethod('Method').GetCustomAttributes(false);       TimeoutAttribute ta = custom[0] as TimeoutAttribute;       int time = ta.Ticks;        IMessage returnedMessage = _nextSink.SyncProcessMessage(msg);       return returnedMessage; }
