IoC & Convention over Configuration in an Agile world

Tue, 22 May 2012 13:44:39 GMT

James Kovacs (http://www.jameskovacs.com) is highly regarded figure in the .NET consulting community. The video linked in this kick is a great talk on how to simplify your codebase using Convention over Configuration with your IoC container. It also briefly touches on some other topics like testing, app bootstrap/initialization, and lots of details regarding the Castle container itself. To download the FakeVader application he uses in his talk check it out on github: https://github.com/JamesKovacs/fakevader

Do you have a fat Global.asax file in your ASP.NET MVC application? Does it contain 1000's of lines of application start-up code? Want to break it out into separate classes and gain the benefits of decoupling, dependency injection and unit testability? Read on.

Automatic Factories With Unity 2.0

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 03:58:37 GMT

Unity 2.0 comes with new features. But the feature i want to talk about is "Automatic Factory". This feature is useful when one class has a dependency in another but may not need to have the instance of dependency in the constructor. Or, just want to create the dependency in another time.

Making Unity work more like the others

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 22:16:14 GMT

I love MS Unity as an IoC container, it has some great features. Though I found it to function incorrectly at two points (it's not that the path chosen by the Unity team is incorrect, I just want/excpect it to act differently). The first thing that bothered me was the fact that Unity throws an exception when Resolve<T> is not able to resolve the given type: I'd prefer it to return null instead, hence most containers do that. The second, even more irritating point, was that ResolveAll<T> only returned the named instances/types instead of all registered types

Dependency injection in real world

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 07:02:59 GMT

Most of the blog posts I've seen present an ideal "perfect day" situation setup for writing the test which is not always the case in real world. In this kind of "not-so-perfect" situations, service locator based solution I've presented in that blog post allowed me to increase testability and introduce TDD into existing code bases and environments not so much interested in the TDD.

TDD Design Starter Kit - Dependency Inversion Principle

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 05:06:03 GMT

In the last episode of the TDD Design Starter Kit, I talked about the need to build cohesive classes, and make the relationships between classes loosely coupled. The specific benefit for TDD is to truly isolate the functionality of a class under the microscope of a unit test. But we've done all we can to isolate our classes, and we still have some interaction with dependencies.

TDD in SharePoint - Introduction to common vocabulary

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 03:30:58 GMT

This post is part of a series on Test Driven Development - Using Dependency Injection. There are a number of terms that you are likely to hear very early on in your journey to Test Driven Development, these terms generally refer to specific patterns of coding that have developed to support particular problems. You should be familiar with terms like Singleton and Factory which are used as a common vocabulary and help developers to communicate their design. In order to complete the refactoring of our project we will introduce some new terms Loosely Coupled, Dependency Inversion, Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control to help us describe the changes and the reasoning behind them.

Proof of Concept: a simple DI solution for ASP.NET WebForms

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 20:39:44 GMT

Building a simple, reusable Http Module that gives folks DI scoped to the Application, Session, and Request. List of requirements (scaled to just the application level) that looked sort of like this: Create a DI container for the application Create a way to get to the container ( we choose an extension method on the Application class) Allow a way to configure the container Allow DI to work for pages Allow DI to work for user controls Allow DI to work for master pages Allow DI to work for ASMX web services Allow the above functionality in a simple and self contained way

Insidious Dependencies

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 23:46:02 GMT
