What is Dependency Injection?
Dependency injection (DI) in programming refers to the process of supplying an external dependency to a software component.
It is a specific form of inversion of control where the concern being inverted is the process of obtaining the needed dependency.

But … what is Inversion of control?
Inversion of control, or IoC, is an abstract principle describing an aspect of some software architecture designs in which the flow of control of a system is inverted in comparison to the traditional architecture.
Control flow is expressed in imperative programming in the form of a series of instructions or procedure calls. Instead of specifying a sequence of decisions and procedures to occur during the lifetime of a process, the user of a IoC framework writes the desired responses linked to particular events or data requests.

Spring.NET
an application framework for buidling Enterprise .NET applications
an IoC Container (Inversion of Control) that manages and injects dependencies on behalf of developers (DI = Dependency Injection)

IoC Containers for .NET
PicoContainer.NET: lightweight and highly embeddable IoC container
StructureMap: lightweight Inversion of Control (IoC) Container written in C#; can improve the architectural qualities of .NET apps by reducing the mechanical costs of good design techniques
Castle: Tools for application development including small IoC container
Spring.NET: full featured IoC container (port of Java version)

Practice First approach - Dependencies
public class ExampleObject {
private AnotherObject objectOne; // dependencies
private YetAnotherObject objectTwo;
private int i;
public AnotherObject ObjectOne {
set { this.objectOne = value; }
}
public YetAnotherObject ObjectTwo {
set { this.objectTwo = value; }
}
public int IntegerProperty {
set { this.i = value; }
}
}

Configuration I
Preferred way to create Object Factories and Application contexts is via configuration:<configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="spring"> <section name="context" type="Spring.Context.Support.ContextHandler, Spring.Core"/> <section name="objects" type="Spring.Context.Support.DefaultSectionHandler, Spring.Core" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <spring> <context> <resource uri="config://spring/objects"/> </context> <objects> ... </objects> </spring></configuration>
Handlers used for Spring configuration section
Where to find object configuration, e.g. file, assembly, config

Configuration II
The configuration tells Spring.NET how objects depend on each other:
<object id="exampleObject" type="Examples.ExampleObject, ExamplesLibrary">
<property name="objectOne" ref="anotherExampleObject"/>
<property name="objectTwo" ref="yetAnotherObject"/>
<property name="IntegerProperty" value="1"/>
</object>
<object id="anotherExampleObject" type="Examples.AnotherObject, ExamplesLibrary"/>
<object id="yetAnotherObject" type="Examples.YetAnotherObject, ExamplesLibrary"/>
Object name Object type: namespace path + class, assembly
Properties referring to other objects: often called dependencies or collaborators

Usage
Now instantiating an ApplicationContext is simple:
IApplicationContext ctx = ContextRegistry.GetContext();ExampleObject person = (ExampleObject)ctx.GetObject(“exampleObject ");
ID that should appear in object
