How to use Windsor IoC in ASP.net Core 2

Question

How can I use Castle Windsor as an IOC instead of the default .net core IOC container?

I have built a service resolver that depends on WindsorContainer to r

Answer 1

For .net core, which centers DI around the IServiceProvider, you would need to create you own wrapper

Reference : Introduction to Dependency Injection in ASP.NET Core: Replacing the default services container

public class ServiceResolver : IServiceProvider {
    private static WindsorContainer container;

    public ServiceResolver(IServiceCollection services) {
        container = new WindsorContainer();
        // a method to register components in container
        RegisterComponents(container, services);
    }

    public object GetService(Type serviceType) {
        return container.Resolve(serviceType);
    }

    //...
}

and then configure the container in ConfigureServices and return an IServiceProvider:

When using a third-party DI container, you must change ConfigureServices so that it returns IServiceProvider instead of void.

public IServiceProvider ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
    services.AddMvc();
    // Add other framework services

    // Add custom provider
    var container = new ServiceResolver(services);
    return container;
}

At runtime, your container will be used to resolve types and inject dependencies.
