Castle Windsor Weak Typed Factory
- by JeffN825
In a very very limited number of scenarios, I need to go from an unknown Type (at compile time) to an instance of the object registered for that type.
For the most part, I use typed factories and I know the type I want to resolve at compile time...so I inject a Func<IMyType> into a constructor
...but in these limited number of scenarios, in order to avoid a direct call to the container (and thus having to reference Windsor from the library, which is an anti-pattern I'd like to avoid), I need to inject a Func<Type,object>...which I want to internally container.Resolve(type) for the Type parameter of the Func.
Does anyone have some suggestions on the easiest/most straightforward way of setting this up?
I tried the following, but with this setup, I end up bypassing the regular TypedFactoryFacility altogether which is definitely not what I want:
Kernel.Register(Component.For(typeof (Func<Type, object>)).LifeStyle.Singleton.UsingFactoryMethod(
(kernel, componentModel, creationContext) =>
kernel.Resolve(/* not sure what to put here... */)));
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
