Javi explains the problems you may run into when applying Dependency Injection in your distributed service layer and some of the available solutions to get them around, mainly focusing WCF services.

In this second post of this series, Javi explains with an example how to apply Dependency Injection pattern in a WCF service using Castle and its WCF facility.

Performance benchmark of Unity, Windsor, StructureMap and Spring.NET. Interesting.

I was getting increasingly curious about the overhead of using a Dependency Injection-container to provide me with instances of my objects. With overhead I mean if and how much longer it takes for the DI container to provide me with the desired instance.

Interesting post about IoC containers, comparing Castle Windsor Container, StructureMap and Unity.

“How could I dynamically create a proxy around an object (interface based proxies are not a problem) and then selectively apply interceptors at a method by method level if necessary?”.

From the recent CodeMash conference: an Open Spaces talk discussing Open Source software on the .net platform - and WebDevRadio just happened to be there and got it all on tape... err, digitally recorded.

The author gives a short summary about what ActiveRecord is and explains the difference between Subsonic/Castle and a O/R mapper (nHibernate).

Last article of the series. It tackles Lifestyles, facilities, lifecycles and release policy.

Describes the bare minimum, essential code only, to get Caslte's MonoRail to render content. Visual Studio not needed.

A simple how-to describing all that needs to be in place to enable both client and server side validation using Castle Monorail

Second article of a 4 parts series about IoC and DI with Castle Windsor Container. This article continues the discussion initiated in the previous one and tackles compulsory and optional dependencies, component injection and collections. Any feedback, questions, ratings are welcome and will be answ...

First article of a 4 parts series about IoC and DI with Castle Windsor Container. This first part is an introduction to the core concepts and a simple example of how to start thinking in terms of IoC.
