@Jonathan I’m looking at Autofac right now… I can already understand why they claim to be “An addictive .NET IoC container.” Thanks for introducing me to it!

There is another IoC container that’s worth looking into in your situation. It’s called Autofac – it actually solves a number of the problems you’ve brought up. Specifically you don’t have to register things in a certain order. It also supports better wire-ups through code (delegate/lambda registrations) than Castle Windsor. We switched a while back from Castle Windsor to Autofac and have never looked back.

On a related note, Microsoft actually grabbed the author of both Castle and Autofac to work on the same project together because they both demonstrated amazing understanding and design prowess in creating their respective IoC containers.

@Chad I’m just using Castle Windsor. We just build an abstraction over it, to be able to configure it how we like.

Thanks for the kind feedback! I’ve been using the “Paste from Visual Studio” plugin for Windows Live Writer. I’d be happy to try a different plugin if you can suggest one!

Interesting. It’s good to see more stuff around DynamicProxy. It’s quite powerful, but I think people are afraid to use it because it can be intimidating to use at first.

Small side note: For some reason, whatever mechanism you’re using to post code looks really messed up in the RSS feed. It looks fine on the site, though.

One last thing: Are you building your own IoC container? Interesting! Is it open source where we can see/play with it?

Thanks!
