Dependency Injection

Hi,

I am planning to use Dependency Injection in Sitefinity Project.  Does Sitefinity natively support DI? Is there any particular framework  you recommend to use with Sitefinity? I want to have some guidance on what  frameworks and how to use DI inside sitefinity.

Thank you so much.

Hi Preetham,

You can use ObjectFactory class - represents a static factory class for creating application objects and we have an internal method  RegisterIoCTypes which is called inside Container property of type IUnityContainer which defines the behavior of the dependency injection container. So, we use IUnityContainer and Interface Injection.

Inside Application_Start event of Global.asax you can registers types with IoC framework.

You can take a  look at
