Using extensions with Unity

Convention based type registration for the Unity IOC container

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 testin...

A mini tutorial to Ninject, a .NET IoC container.

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.

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.

This is the conclusion to my series on reducing code coupling. This installment follows from the previous ones, building on them by introducing the Inversion of Control pattern.

Looking at the simple use case and how to setup for Auto Registration. Auto Registration is where StructureMap can map your types for you, assuming you follow the standard convention where Foo implementes IFoo.

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 ex...
