Register Types By Convention With Unity
Using Microsoft's Unity IoC container, you can register types by convention rather than having to explicitly register each interface to a concrete class. The convention is that interfaces beginning with "I" will map to concrete classes with the same name, minus the "I" (for example, interface IMyClass would map to concrete class MyClass). I only recently learned this, after watching a Pluralsight course that showed how to do the same thing using StructureMap. I'd used StructureMap a few years ago, but was unaware of this feature at the time, and am not sure if it existed then or not. The example shown below will register types by convention (for example, uses of interface IMyClass yield concrete types of MyClass). container .RegisterTypes( AllClasses . FromLoadedAssemblies(), WithMappings . FromMatchingInterface, WithName .Default); This cut down on the size of m
