New Comment on "Project Rationale"

It's not very popular since this project is only useful for reusable frameworks. For line of business application (that's about 99% of all code written) this abstraction is useless. When you apply the Dependency Injection pattern correctly, there is no need let your LOB application take a dependency on the CSL abstraction.

Awesome!!! and BTW very useful.. I don't understand why is not more popular.

New Comment on "Unity Adapter"

FYI... I figured out the stack overflow problem. The service locator keeps a reference to the unity container it was created with. Later, when the locator is disposed, it disposes the container. Since the locator was added without the externally controlled lifetime manager, it creates a recursive loop resulting in the exception. All I needed to do was change from the default lifetime manager like so: using(var contrainer = new UnityContrainer()) { container.RegisterInstance<IServiceLocator>(new UnityServiceLocator(container), new ExternallyControlledLifetimeManager()); }

I noticed that UnityServiceLocator and UnityContainer both implement IDisposable. I have them in using statements as recomended, but it seems that pretty much any arragement I can think of results in a StackOverflowException upon disposal. I tried the following: using (var container = new UnityContainer()) using (var locator = new UnityServiceLocator(container)) { container.RegisterInstance<IServiceLocator>(locator); } using(var container = new UnityContainer()) { container.RegisterInstance<IServiceLocator>(new UnityServiceLocator(container)); } And a few others... eventually I just manually injected the IServiceLocator dependency instead of havig the container do it. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here, is this a creating a circular reference er something? Thanks!

I created a few more projects targeting the following:

.NET Compact Framework 3.5 (CF35)
Moonlight 2.0 (ML20)
Mono 2.8 (MN28)
MonoTouch 3.1 (MT31)
.NET 2.0 (NET20)
.NET 3.0 (NET30)
.NET 3.5 (NET35)
.NET 4.0 (NET40)
Silverlight 2.0 (SL2)
Silverlight 3.0 (SL3)
Silverlight 4.0 (SL4)
Windows Phone 7 (WP7)

All link the files from the 2.0 project i downloaded from CodePlex.

Additionally I created a nuspec file to create a nuGet/nuPack file from the binaries.

I created a custom StrongName key... Are you able to build the MonoDevelop stuff?

I hope you'll be able to merge is painless and soon into the official code base and create the nuGet/nuPack package - I really need the package to launch an open source software :-)

Thanks in advance! Don't hesitate to contact me!

Welcome to the Common Service Locator library

The Common Service Locator library contains a shared interface for service location which application and framework developers can reference. The library provides an abstraction over IoC containers and service locators. Using the library allows an application to indirectly access the capabilities without relying on hard references. The hope is that using this library, third-party applications and frameworks can begin to leverage IoC/Service Location without tying themselves down to a specific implementation.

The project contains a full test suite which validates a particular implementation of the locator meets the functional requirements. Additionally, several adapters for working with popular IoC containers will be included within the project at a future date.
