Simple, Extensible IoC in C#

I just committed the core of a simple dependency injection container to a standalone assembly, Sasa.IoC . The interface is pretty straightforward: public static class Dependency { // static, type-indexed operations public static T Resolve<T>(); public static void Register<T>(Func<T> create) public static void Register<TInterface, TRegistrant>() where TRegistrant : TInterface, new() // dynamic, runtime type operations public static object Resolve(Type registrant); public static void Register(Type publicInterface, Type registrant, params Type[] dependencies) } If you were ever curious about IoC, the Dependency class is only about 100 lines of code. You can even skip the dynamic operations and it's only ~50 lines of code. The dynamic operations then just use reflection to invoke the typed operations. Dependency uses static generic fields, so resolution is pretty much just a field access + invoking a
