Question

How can I pass arguments to a constructor in an IOC-framework? I want to do something like: (Trying to be IOC-framework agnostic 😉 )

object objectToLogFor = xxx; container.Resolve<ILogging>(objectToLogFor);   public class MyLogging : ILogging {     public MyLogging(object objectToLogFor){} } 

It seems that this is not possible in StructureMap. But I would love to see someone prove me wrong.

Are other frameworks more feature-rich? Or am I using the IOC-framework in the wrong way?

In structure map you could achieve this using the With method:

string objectToLogFor = 'PolicyName'; ObjectFactory.With<string>(objectToLogFor).GetInstance<ILogging>();
