Regular expression and Obsolete attribute extraction in NDepend

I've tried to search on the NDepend documentation if there is any possible way to do a regex on Obsolete Attributes?

And is there a way to get the Obsolete attribute in NDepend at all? Any ideas or example of code on how to make a small Linq query to get an attribute of an obsolete?

For example:

//TODO! I WANT THE STRING USING NDepend! ObsoleteAttribute["Deprecated in 2007-01-23!"]

Solution

  • With NDepend you can get the attribute type,the methods/types/assemblies... tagged with the attribute, but you cannot get the string in the attribute. Much better than reflection, we'd advise using the framework Mono.Cecil for that.
