public abstract class GroupingAdvice : AdviceRemarks
Advices of the same family, for example OnMethodEntryAdvice and OnMethodExitAdvice, can be grouped so that they are woven as a single transformation, consistent with the code generated by the corresponding simple aspect, such as OnMethodBoundaryAspect. The advices of a group share their arguments, such as MethodExecutionArgs.
The groups are formed in each class of the aspect separately. An advice without Group, Master and pointcut joins the group of its class that has no advice of its kind yet. When there is no such group, the advice starts a group that applies to the target of the aspect. When there are several, the compiler reports an error, and Group must be set. An advice with a pointcut and without Group or Master starts a group of its own.
The pointcut of a group, and the properties that apply to the whole group, such as Description, can be set on any advice of the group, but on one advice only.
