Download and Install

You can directly install the library via NuGet.

OR

Download it via "manual download" link in NuGet web page and extract the assembly into your project manually if you don't want to use a NuGet client.

"nupkg" file you downloaded from NuGet web page is a regular zip file. You can change its extension to "zip" and extract it easily.

Distribution

Atesh library references Atesh.Metalama library which references Metalama.Framework library therefore, referencing Atesh in your own project will automatically make your project to use the Metalama system.

By using Metalama system in your project, you will be able to implement your own Metalama aspects. If that's what you want, you can keep the package reference in your .csproj file unmodified:

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Atesh" Version="CHANGE ME" />
  </ItemGroup>

If you just want to use the existing symbols (classes, types, methods, aspects) from Atesh and Atesh.Metalama libraries and don't want to implement your own aspects, then you should modify the package reference by adding a PrivateAssets value:

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Atesh" Version="CHANGE ME" PrivateAssets="all" />
    <PackageReference Include="Atesh.Metalama" Version="CHANGE ME" PrivateAssets="all" />
  </ItemGroup>

You can see the distribution section of Metalama Documentation for more info.

How To Build

After installing the extension, you need to get a PostSharp community license for free. You can request the license in PostSharp license section of Visual Studio options window or on thier website directly.

PostSharp is the #1 pattern-aware extension to C# and VB. It allows developers to eradicate boilerplate by offloading repeating work from humans to machines. Please see PostSharp Documentation for more info.
