Demonstrating how to apply Dependency Injection in the ASP.NET MVC NerdDinner.com application using Microsoft Unity Application Block.

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 partic...

A simple, easy to follow example of implementing IoC using Castle Windsor

A comparison of how to initialize various IoC libraries. Including AutoFac, Ninject, Spring.Net, StructureMap, Unity, and Windsor.

Here’s the video from the talk on dependency injection with Castle Windsor that Mike Hadlow and Gojko Adzic did last month at Skills Matter.

The Spring.Net framework version 1.2.0 has been released today and it features among others WCF and MSMQ integration as well as 100 bug fixes and enhancements since the 1.1.2 release.

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 ext...

In this post, I demonstrate how you can use dependency injection pattern using Microsoft’s Unity Application Block (Unity). If you want to develop an ASP.NET MVC application fully with Microsoft stack, you can use Unity Application Block to perform dependency injection.

Many dependencies in code are obvious, such as relying on a particular framework or database implementation. Others can easily be overlooked. This article exposes some of the more insidious dependencies that commonly exist within applications which may be overlooked as such.

Adding envrionment validations to Windosr: "StructureMap does really well is the ability to ask the container to perform envrionment validations, to make sure that the envrionment is ready for us"

What’s the common denominator for the Autofac, Castle, Unity and other popular .NET containers? Some think, that it is the CommonServiceLocator - an interface that will allow library developers to abstract from the specific Container or Service Locator implementation.

Another IoC Container From Microsoft ? Add-in Framework ? What the heck is it ? Sidar tries to answer.

This might be interesting for people that use popular IoC container for .NET - Autofac. Now it is possible to configure this container with the custom DSL syntax that is more flexible and efficient than plain XML configuration.
