.net - Built-in AOP in C# - is it on the way?

Question

In large apps I find myself really wishing I had built-in AOP facilities. As it stands in C# the best you can do is factories and RealProxys, PostSharp, ICorDebug, ICorProfiler or injection frameworks. There is no clean built-in way of doing AOP.

Is there any indication anywhere (blog post / internal discussion) that indicates that AOP is on the way?

Answer 1

Romain's answer covers (almost :) perfectly the current solutions. As for the future support, Anders Hejlsberg has previously stated that they'were in wait & see mode about AOP.

We can only hope that with the managed rewrite of csc, and a ?Compiler as a Service?, one could plug into the compiler, and inject aspects there.
