dnrTV Episode #126: Roll-Your-Own IoC with Me

2008-10-15 james 9 comments

My first dnrTV episode went live today. I am talking with Carl Franklin about dependency inversion, dependency injection, and inversion of control. I demonstrate how to build a very simple IoC container. My intent is to show developers that it isn’t any thing crazy scary. I talk about how IoC facilitates decoupling dependencies and creating more easily testable software. Check it out!

Feedback is always welcome.

Carl and I plan to do another show focused on IoC containers in the next few weeks. Specifically we’ll be talking about what a full-fledged container offers over and above the roll-your-own. If you have other IoC questions you would like answered on the next show, drop me an email.

Nice episode – great work!
I would recommend to switch to an implementation where type of implementer is stored against the contract in the dictionary, rather than a concrete instance. Otherwise you end up having a singleton for each request of an interface implementer that can cause headaches later down the road. Activator should do that nicely.

I also enjoyed the show… and have become interested in checking out Resharper. Would love to have the source code to play with.

Great show, it was a nice complement to your previous dotnetrocks episode.
I have a question, how can I use IOC to mock web services? they don’t have an interface.

@Kalle – When dealing with Web Services, you’re usually interacting with a code-gen’d proxy class. Given that this is an external service to my application (or at least a remote interaction point within my application), I define my own interface (and impl), which closely mimics, but hides the details of the proxy. I can then mock this interface. HTH.
