Dependency Injection in WebAPI with Castle Windsor

Question

I want to implement Dependency Injection in WebApi application using Castle Windsor. I have following sample code -

Interface -

Answer 1

I didn't work directly with Castle Windsor, but I believe the logic should be similar:

Your WatchController ctor should look like this:

public WatchController(IWatch watch) 
{
    _watch = watch;
}

And this is where you inject the dependency.

You should have the equivalent to a Locator in which you register your WatchController class, and tell it which watch it should receive depending on whatever you want ... design/runtime , day of the week, random number ... whatever works or whatever you need...

The following code is from MVVM-Light, but should clarify the above paragraph:

static ViewModelLocator()
{
    ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider(() => SimpleIoc.Default);

    // This will run in design mode, so all your VS design data will come from here
    if (ViewModelBase.IsInDesignModeStatic)
    {
        SimpleIoc.Default.Register();
    }
    // This will run REAL stuff, in runtime
    else
    {
        SimpleIoc.Default.Register();
    }

    // You register your classes, so the framework can do the injection for you
    SimpleIoc.Default.Register();
    ...
}
