Yep, perhaps if enough people requested PS support for M4A we could change Gael's mind.

From the next version of PostSharp, we will completely stop testing our product with Mono (Mono testing currently is very weak anyway), so the support will even be worse. http://support.sharpcrafters.com/discussions/questions/34-unofficial-mono-for-android-monotouch-support Bad news for the MonoTouch guys who have to use the Mono compiler. But, this looks good (you still need the Microsoft.NET): Portable class libraries are not supported in PostsSharp 2.1. It will be supported in PostSharp 3.0. http://support.sharpcrafters.com/discussions/problems/258-portable-class-libraries-support I put in a feature request for MonoTouch/Mono for Android here: http://support.sharpcrafters.com/discussions/suggestions/7-mono-for-android-monotouch-support So, if you feel that you could use PostSharp in your apps, then just leave some incentive for Gael. Remember that there is a free full version for OpenSource projects and Students as well as a free Starter Edition: http://www.sharpcrafters.com/purchase/discounts So, let's stand together and fill that request with replies and keep support for Mono. My use case is with the MvvmCross framework. It is so good that all code virtually goes into a Totally 100% cross-platformable ViewModel, and I just use the different Views and Bindings. But we have to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged and the horrible RaiseEvent for each property. I have a POC that works brilliantly with PostSharp, so there is very little non-bussines logic in the VM.

I did nothing except: I first tried updating PostSharp to version 2.1.7.6. This made no changes. Then, I created the sample in VS 2012: http://www.sharpcrafters.com/postsharp/documentation#getting-started. No work... In utter desperation I created the same project in VS 2012. It worked. Hmm. So I tried the VS 2012 project again. Still no go. Then, the brainwave. The VS 2010 project works, so lets open that in VS 2012. That worked. The only difference was the project files and the VS version. I assumed that as the same project file (the one from VS 2010) worked in both VS versions, then it must be the project file. Wrong! Both the code and the project file were exactly the same. The only difference was the project GUID - one line. Now here comes the crazy part (before I broke down in tears): I opened the original project (the one with the errors). It now builds fine :) Don't ask me what happened. I haven't touched that project since yesterday. Maybe it was the upgrade slowly kicking in or maybe it was the first build with VS 2010. Or maybe it was the incessant building and re-building. (Or the hand waving). Note: you do need the PostSharp.Custom.targets file. So the sum of the story is: It works. Who knows why. Hope this helps :) Matthew On Fri, Aug 3, 2012 at 8:46 AM, Matthew Leibowitz <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, That "when I get home" turned into a "tomorrow", but here is some more information: With just a plain old PostSharp 2.1 install and a simple project I get this: Unhandled exception (2.1.3.3, 32 bit, CLR 2.0, Release): PostSharp.Sdk.CodeModel.BindingException: Cannot find the type 'System.Func`2' in assembly 'mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. at PostSharp.Sdk.CodeModel.AssemblyEnvelope.GetTypeDefinition(String typeName, BindingOptions bindingOptions) at PostSharp.Sdk.CodeModel.TypeRefDeclaration.GetTypeDefinition(BindingOptions bindingOptions) at PostSharp.Sdk.CodeModel.TypeSpecDeclaration.GetTypeDefinition(BindingOptions bindingOptions) at PostSharp.Sdk.Extensibility.Tasks.IndexGenericInstancesTask.Execute() at PostSharp.Sdk.Extensibility.Project.ExecutePhase(String phase) at PostSharp.Sdk.Extensibility.Project.Execute() at PostSharp.Hosting.PostSharpObject.ExecuteProjects() at PostSharp.Hosting.PostSharpObject.InvokeProject(ProjectInvocation projectInvocation) So following the tips of experts, I added a PostSharp.Custom.targets file to my solution folder: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";> <PropertyGroup> <PostSharpAssemblyBindingPolicySet>Silverlight20</PostSharpAssemblyBindingPolicySet> </PropertyGroup> </Project> This results in a new error: Unhandled exception (2.1.3.3, 32 bit, CLR 2.0, Release): PostSharp.Sdk.CodeModel.AssemblyLoadException: Cannot load assembly mscorlib_3.

One guy managed to get it to work, but he was using version 2. Version 2.1 seems to use the mscorlib 5? Maybe its because of silverlight 5 being installed? I'll see if I can give some more info when I get home, but I just wanted to see if anyone tried something?
