Using Castle Windsor with FluentValidation In MVC
- by user332022
I'm working on getting FluentValidation working with Castle Windsor. I already have a wrapper around Castle Windsor. Here is the code for that:
public class ResolveType
{
private static IWindsorContainer _windsorContainer;
public static void Initialize( IWindsorContainer windsorContainer )
{
_windsorContainer = windsorContainer;
}
public static T Of()
{
return _windsorContainer.Resolve();
}
}
I am trying to build the FluentValidation factory as is explained at http://www.jeremyskinner.co.uk/2010/02/22/using-fluentvalidation-with-an-ioc-container
The article uses StructureMap, but I thought I could adapt it to Castle Windsor like this:
public class CastleWindsorValidatorFactory : ValidatorFactoryBase
{
public override IValidator CreateInstance( Type validatorType)
{
return ResolveType.Of();
}
}
Notice, I'm just trying to call into my wrapper so that Windsor can resolve the type reference.
The problem is that this doesn't compile. I get 'The type or namespace name 'validatorType' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)'
How can I make this work?
