Setting up Inversion of Control (IoC) in ASP.NET MVC with Castle Windsor
- by Lirik
I'm going over Sanderson's Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework and in Chapter 4 he discusses Creating a Custom Controller Factory and it seems that the original method, AddComponentLifeStyle or AddComponentWithLifeStyle, used to register controllers is deprecated now:
public class WindsorControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
IWindsorContainer container;
public WindsorControllerFactory()
{
container = new WindsorContainer(new XmlInterpreter(new ConfigResource("castle")));
// register all the controller types as transient
var controllerTypes = from t in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes()
where typeof(IController).IsAssignableFrom(t)
select t;
//[Obsolete("Use Register(Component.For<I>().ImplementedBy<T>().Named(key).Lifestyle.Is(lifestyle)) instead.")]
//IWindsorContainer AddComponentLifeStyle<I, T>(string key, LifestyleType lifestyle) where T : class;
foreach (Type t in controllerTypes)
{
container.Register(Component.For<IController>().ImplementedBy<???>().Named(t.FullName).LifeStyle.Is(LifestyleType.Transient));
}
}
// Constructs the controller instance needed to service each request
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(Type controllerType)
{
return (IController)container.Resolve(controllerType);
}
}
The new suggestion is to use Register(Component.For<I>().ImplementedBy<T>().Named(key).Lifestyle.Is(lifestyle)), but I can't figure out how to present the implementing controller type in the ImplementedBy<???>() method. I tried ImplementedBy<t>() and ImplementedBy<typeof(t)>(), but I can't find the appropriate way to pass int he implementing type. Any ideas?
