Wed, 11 Mar 2009 09:16:02 GMT

There has been a lot of excitement in the community about the new ASP.NET MVC framework that is about to ship (literally any day now - announcement coming soon).

How to use Ninject with ASP.NET MVC

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:16:02 GMT

By default, the ASP.NET MVC framework instantiate controllers calling their default constructor. This makes using Dependency Injection impossible. But, as almost everything inside that framework, the logic with which a controller is instantiated can be replaced with you own logic. This can be done creating your own ControllerFactory, which is pretty simple. But if you are using one of the many popular DI/IoC libraries, that task is even simpler, since there are already custom controller factories for almost all the IoC libraries available. In this post we are are going to see how to use the ControllerFactory that delegates to Ninject the creation of your controllers.
