How to use Castle Windsor with ASP.Net web forms?

Question

I am trying to wire up dependency injection with Windsor to standard asp.net web forms. I think I have achieved this using a HttpModule and a CustomAttribute (code shown bel

I've recently started at a company where there are a lot of legacy webform apps, so this looks to be a real interesting approach, and could offer a way forward if we wanted to add DI to existing web pages, thanks.

One point I noticed is that the Injection method uses the container.Resolve to explicitly resolve components, therefore I think we may need to do a container.Release on the components when the Page Unloads.

If we have transient components and don't do this then we may face memory leakages. Not sure how components with Per Web Request lifestyles would behave (i.e. would Windsor pick them up at the end of the web request, even though we explicitly resolved them) but here too may want to play safe.

Therefore the module may need to be extended to keep track of the components that it resolves and release them so that Windsor knows when to clean up.
