Modern Developer’s Design Patterns Series

Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control

In this installment of the Modern Developer’s Design Pattern Series we are “Deep Diving” into Dependency Inversion using Dependency Injection with Inversion of Control Containers.

The IOC Container frameworks we will be demonstrating are:

1. Microsoft’s Unity

2. StructureMap

3. Ninject

We will be looking at the feature set of each IOC framework.

A comparison chart will show the features available for each offering with best practice usage selection recommendations.

The Deep Dive Topics

Here are a list of topics in the Framework:

1. Abstraction Design

2. The Request/Response Design Pattern

3. Service Locator Pattern

4. The Singleton Pattern

5. Types Not to Use in IOC Containers

6. Dependency Injection

   1. Constructor (Class & Method)

   2. Property (Setter)

   3. Interface (Abstraction)

7. Installation Process

8. Initialization Code

   1. Bootstrapping for Web Application

   2. Bootstrapping for Class Library Assemblies

9. Registering the Types

10. Resolving Types

11. Lifetime Management of Resolved Types

12. IOC Run-time Type Interception

Wisdom Pearl # 134 – Knowledge or Wisdom?

Data Creates Information

… Information creates Knowledge

 

But Wisdom only comes from Knowledge

… Used for a Successful Outcome

 

Don’t Confuse Knowledge for Wisdom!
