RE: Which IoC container should I use?
It entirely depends on what you are looking for in an IoC container, for composition I personally use MEF[1] but that's likely a bias because I worked on it. I've also heard very good things about Autofac - and looking at the latest appears to be very influenced by some of the things we set out to achieve in MEF. Not surprisingly, Nick Blumhardt, who owns Autofac, also used work on MEF. :) [1] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.composition.aspx -Original Message- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Bec Carter Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2011 4:23 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Which IoC container should I use?

Re: Which IoC container should I use?
I use http://ninject.org/ at the time it was the only one which offered a fluid interface to do the configuration in code. I really really dislike using XML to configure things like this. (but also because the mascot is a Ninja!) That said I do hear a lot about Autofac on twitter from the Readify guys. Maybe I should give it a look. -David Burela On 22 February 2011 04:54, David Kean david.k...@microsoft.com wrote: It entirely depends on what you are looking for in an IoC container, for composition I personally use MEF[1] but that's likely a bias because I worked on it.

Re: Which IoC container should I use?
I was trying to answer this for myself recently and found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/411660/enterprise-library-unity-vs-other-ioc-containers http://stackoverflow.com/questions/411660/enterprise-library-unity-vs-other-ioc-containersIt's a little dated though. Enterprise Library has had a major release since the above question was answered. I'm not sure about the others. For me, since I'm looking at using some of the other EntLib 'Application Blocks' (and later maybe Prism) for my project Unity seems like a good fit. I've read up on it and it seems pretty full featured. I haven't actually implemented anything with it yet since I've been working around some issues with the Logging Application Block (but that's another story). While researching this I don't think I read any bad stories about any of the IoC implementations - they all do the basic job and that's what provides most of the benefit.

Ahh, an idealist:) Combine tight deadlines, tire fire of existing code and lastly the realities of day to day cubicles in enterprise..

Thanks for all responses- I will check them out.

Back to the original point, most of the containers will provide many of the same capabilities but in slightly different ways. At the end of the day there are only so many ways you can build a dictionary of object factories (which is sort of all an IoC container is). Most of the time the differences are in how you register components with the container and some of these features can get quite advanced so by the time you need those, you've already made your choice. If you have the time, the best thing for you to do is to build a very small app representative of the way you'll be doing things and then try each of the containers out to see how they feel.
