I think the Cecil project from Mono would be useful for AOP and most
dynamic stuff.

http://www.mono-project.com/Cecil

"Cecil is a library written by Jb Evain to generate and inspect
programs and libraries in the ECMA CIL format.

In simple English, with Cecil, you can load existing managed
assemblies, browse all the contained types, modify them on the fly and
save back to the disk the modified assembly.

Today it is used by the Mono Debugger by the bug-finding and
compliance checking tool Gendarme as well as DB4O."

Isn't the main reason for making methods non-virtual by default supposed

Especially if it is black-boxed. In my experience virtual methods should
basically be empty to avoid the problem with "should/must I call the
base implementation or not, do I call it before or after my code etc".

       Ok, I then misinterpreted your post, I thought you prefered the
profiler api to do things.

       fully agreed.

       About SSCLI modified tools: these can be helpful, but it should
be
doable with standard MS shipped .NET code/compilers, as most
organisations
won't trust a '3rd party compiler' I think.
