Binsor is part of the RhinoCommons library (Rhino.Commons.Binsor). These are seperate assemblies if I’m not mistaken.

I want to use Binsor, but I’m not interested in using ‘Rhino.Commons’ – I use Windsor, I don’t use this other library in my project.

Is this possible?

(I didn’t see a ‘Binsor’ project in the svn either?)

I’m doing something similar as Mike by letting my services implement an interface (IService, IRepository, etc) and then auto registering them in the container.

Bah! forgot to escape my angle brackets.

windsorContainer.Register(AllTypes
.Of()
.FromAssembly(GetControllerAssembly())
.Configure(c => c.LifeStyle.Transient.Named(c.Implementation.Name.ToLower())));

Binsor is also on my list of things to try. I’m really looking forward to Ayende’s book. However, the urgency has dimmed somewhat since the fluent registration API has been available for Windsor. You can write stuff like this now for registering your controllers:

windsorContainer.Register(AllTypes
.Of()
.FromAssembly(GetControllerAssembly())
.Configure(c => c.LifeStyle.Transient.Named(c.Implementation.Name.ToLower())));

That’s the registration for an ASP.NET MVC app, thus the Name.ToLower() hack.

And you get intellisense!

Note this is currently only on the trunk, not the binary release.

My lazyness teached me the shortened versions of Binsor’s declarations:

component IRepository, NHRepository
facility WcfFacility

Shorter, easier to read.
Works if you don’t want to give specific ids to your components .
