Manipulating the IL of an assembly as part of a build requires a significant amount of plumbing code. This plumbing code involves knowledge of both the MSBuild and Visual Studio APIs. Fody attempts to eliminate that plumbing code through an extensible add-in model.

PM> Install-Package Fody

This technique of "weaving" in new instructions is fantastically powerful. You can turn simple public properties into full INotifyPropertyChanged implementations, add checks for null arguments, add Git hashes to your Assemblies, even make all your string comparisons case insensitive.

• Injection of the MSBuild task into the build pipeline
• Resolving the location of the assembly and pdb
• Abstracts the complexities of logging to MSBuild
• Reads the assembly and pdb into the Mono.Cecil object model
• Re-applying the strong name if necessary
• Saving the assembly and pdb

Fody Uses Mono.Cecil and an add-in based approach to modifying the IL of .net assemblies at compile time.

• No install required to build
• No attributes required
• No references required
• Supports .net 3.5, .net 4, .net 4.5, Silverlight 4, Silverlight 5, Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8, Metro on Windows 8, Mono, MonoTouch, MonoDroid and PCL

See SampleUsage for an introduction on using Fody.

The name "Fody" comes from the small birds that belong to the weaver family Ploceidae.
