I guess there’s a strange secret affair between Microsoft and Aspect-Oriented Programming. Never, ever has Microsoft used the word Aspect-Oriented Programming in its products. Yet, many products implement some of these concepts:

- WCF (custom behaviors)
- Unity (interceptors)
- Policy Injection Application Block (policy)
- Base Class Library (transparent proxy, ContextBoundObject)
