Episode #9 - Inversion of Control
Published 06/25/2009 18:43 by jeffreydiercks

TECHNICAL SEGMENT –  Inversion of Control

In this segment, we discuss Inversion of Control / Dependency Injection with an IoC tool. During the conversation, mention was made of Bob Martin’s SOLID principles, which include the Dependency Inversion Principle (pdf).

Some IoC tools:
StructureMap
Castle Windsor
Microsoft Unity
Ninject

DEV TIP

We discuss a practice of class design which is to either provide an interface for a class or mark all public members as virtual. By following this practice by default, we can provide extensibility to our application. This can facilitate many pattern implementations and mock/stub testing frameworks.

TOOL TIP

ProcessExplorer and FileMon from the Windows SysInternals suite. While these tools aren’t necessarily targeted at developers, they’re great in troubleshooting situations.
