Castle Windsor IOC: Passing constructor parameters to child components

Question

The following code is for demo purposes only.

Lets say i have 2 components (businessService, and dataService), and a UI class.

UI class needs a busi

I have needed to do this when creating transient components that require a context object. The solution I used was to override the DefaultDependencyResolver class so that it does pass inline arguments down the resolution pipeline.

public class ArgumentPassingDependencyResolver : DefaultDependencyResolver
{
    protected override CreationContext RebuildContextForParameter(
        CreationContext current, Type parameterType)
    {
        if (parameterType.ContainsGenericParameters)
        {
            // this behaviour copied from base class
            return current;
        }

        // the difference in the following line is that "true" is passed
        // instead of "false" as the third parameter
        return new CreationContext(parameterType, current, true);
    }
}

An instance of this class needs to be passed in when the container is created (other classes also need to be passed in because there's no convenient constructor that only takes a dependency resolver):

var container = new WindsorContainer(
    new DefaultKernel(
        new ArgumentPassingDependencyResolver(),
        new NotSupportedProxyFactory()),
    new DefaultComponentInstaller());
