I’m wondering what the differences are between the ‘AddProperty’ method of the ComponentModel and the ‘CustomDependencies’ dictionary. I’m trying to set the dependency for a property on an component after it has already been registered in the container.

First I retrieve the component from the kernel

var registration = container.Kernel.GetAssignableHandlers(component).Select(x =>    x.ComponentModel).SingleOrDefault();

Then I’m looking to set a property dependency on that component. It seems to work when using the CustomDependencies dictionary, but I’m just wondering what the differences are.

    AddProperty as the name implies declares dependency on a property existing on the implementation type.

    CustomDependencies is a generic way of associating any sort of dependency values with the component. Those can be used for anything.

    and if you want to add dependencies to a component do it in a IContributeComponentModelConstruction (yeah, that’s a mouthful)
