Fluent NHibernate.Search is an open-source attributes-less mapping interface for the NHibernate provider implementation of Lucene.NET.

NHibernate.Search is attributes based mapping.  However, some projects need to keep domain entities true POCO and persistant ignorant.  This project was created because there is no Fluent inteface to map Lucene.NET documents without attributes outside domain entities.

PostSharp is the leading aspect-oriented programming (AOP) framework on the Microsoft .NET platform.  With PostSharp, you can easily write and apply custom attributes that add new behaviors to your code — tracing, thread management, exception handling, data binding and more.

PostSharp was created in 2004 as an open-source project and was serving its first commercial customers by mid-2005.  Eventually it became clear that the open-source model would not provide the resources necessary to properly support the project.  Customers wanted a reliable support team, so the commercial company SharpCrafters was created.  The result is a new commercial version of the product: PostSharp 2.0.
