Jehoel.AspNetDependencyInjection.Mvc 3.2.0

AspNetDependencyInjection

(Currently listed on NuGet.org as Jehoel.AspNetDependencyInjection and Jehoel.AspNetDependencyInjection.Mvc)

AspNetDependencyInjection allows "Classic" ASP.NET Web Forms applications to use Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection to compose application services.

• This project is derived from my earlier Unity.WebForms project which provided DI using Unity, located at https://github.com/Jehoel/Unity.WebForms.

  • ...which itself is a derivative and fork of S. Kyle Korndoerfer's original project at https://bitbucket.org/KyleK/unity.webforms
    • ...which cites DevTrends Unity.MVC3 and DevTrends Unity.WCF as original works.

• This particular package's main objective is supporting ASP.NET Web Forms 4.7.2's new WebObjectActivator which means that Page, UserControl and other types can use true constructor dependency injection. Previously applications had to use "property injection" which many consider to be an anti-pattern.

• This project is not intended for use with ASP.NET Web API, ASP.NET 5, nor ASP.NET Core. Those platforms already have established dependency-injection infrastructure ecosystems available to their users.

AspNetDependencyInjection.Mvc exposes AspNetDependencyInjection as an implementation of System.Web.Mvc.IDependencyResolver for use with ASP.NET MVC 5.x.

Current Version

• 1.4 - S. Kyle Korndoerfer's most recent version of Unity.WebForms, released in 2015. See https://bitbucket.org/KyleK/unity.webforms.
• 2.0 - My Unity.WebForms project, updated in 2019 for ASP.NET 4.7.2 and WebObjectActivator). See https://github.com/Jehoel/Unity.WebForms.
• 3.0 - After being extensively modified to use Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection and renamed to AspNetDependencyInjection (as it now is unrelated to Unity.
• 3.2 - Adding support for ASP.NET MVC.
