Answer 1

The following steps worked for me:

1. Create a new ASP.NET MVC 5 application in Visual Studio 2013 RTM

2. Install the StructureMap.MVC4 NuGet:

   Install-Package StructureMap.MVC4
   

3. Create a new interface:

   public interface IDependency
   {
       string SayHello();
   }
   

4. Implement this interface:

   public class ConcreteDepenedency: IDependency
   {
       public string SayHello()
       {
           return "Hello World";
       }
   }
   

5. Have the HomeController work with this interface:

   public class HomeController : Controller
   {
       private readonly IDependency dependency;
       public HomeController(IDependency dependency)
       {
           this.dependency = dependency;
       }
   
       public ActionResult Index()
       {
           return Content(this.dependency.SayHello());
       }
   }
   

6. Configure your container in ~/DependencyResolution/Ioc.cs:

   using StructureMap;
   using WebApplication1.Controllers;
   
   namespace WebApplication1.DependencyResolution {
   
       public static class IoC {
   
           public static IContainer Initialize() {
   
               ObjectFactory.Initialize(x =>
               {
                   x.For().Use();
               });
   
               return ObjectFactory.Container;
           }
       }
   }
   

7. Run your application with Ctrl+F5

8. The ConcreteDependency is successfully injected in HomeController.
