Summary
Although we’ve used Castle Windsor throughout, there are other tools, frameworks, or libraries that could also be used, such as PostSharp (https://www.postsharp.net), Autofac (https://autofac.org), or just use the underlying Castle Core DynamicProxy to achieve the same without buying into a full-blown framework. You could be hand-rolling this yourself using reflection emit as well.
Overall, AOP and Castle Windsor provide a powerful mechanism for separating concerns in your code and making them more modular and reusable. By selectively applying aspects to specific parts of your code, you can achieve a high degree of flexibility and control over the behavior of your application.
In Chapter 13, Applying Cross-Cutting Concerns, we discussed the importance of reducing risk in your codebase, which is perhaps the most critical use case. Since security is the most vulnerable aspect of our software, it is essential to adopt a zero-trust mindset when it comes to this and...
