JEREMY’s NOTE: I’m trying to rewrite the StructureMap documentation today, and I’m going to blog most of it out here as I finish it until Brendan tells me to stop polluting the main feed. This article is intended to be an introduction to the concepts behind an IoC tool for folks with little or no previous...

A preview release of StructureMap 2.5 is available now at http://sourceforge.net/projects/structuremap . The code is completely baked (minus some convenience methods I'm going to throw in), but I'm lagging on the documentation (life has been intruding on my side project time lately). I'll...

Just a quick update on stuff because I got a lot of questions about StoryTeller over the weekend. I'm currently focusing my attention on StructureMap . I'm giving it the Python 3000 treatment and pretty well gutting some of the internals to clean up the structure. I've eliminated some obscure...

Steve Harman asked me yesterday to show a little demo of the AutoMocking container coming soon in StructureMap 2.5. Honestly, I was very lukewarm to the idea of an "AutoMocking" container at first because I thought it would obfuscate tests. Everyone else was doing it, so I figured I'd give...

The 2.5 release of StructureMap is at least 6 weeks away, but I'd like to throw some more stuff out to get some feedback while I've got plenty of time to deviate. I'm building in much more interception capabilities into StructureMap to support runtime AOP and other scenarios. I don't...

I'm getting close to code complete on the forthcoming 2.5 release of StructureMap and I'm focusing on ease of use features and fullblown interception support for AOP tooling (runtime AOP to be provided by something else though). StructureMap has had some support in the last couple releases to...

Hello, my name is Jeremy, and I sometimes write unit tests specifications that are uglier than sin. Specifically, when I started to look back at the interaction style tests I've been writing over the past couple years I'm finding a bunch of unit tests that are indecipherable to me, the author...

I had a query this morning about this. Say you're working in the new MVC framework and you write your own routing engine that has a syntax like this: Route("some string pattern").IsHandledBy<MyController>(); Route("some other string pattern").IsHandledBy<AnotherController>...

Ayende has a post up this morning called Inverting Inversion of Control where he talks about registering services with an IoC container at runtime. Ayende is specifically saying that this technique is useful for injecting services that you either can't control the creation of or simply want to construct...
