I am implementing the builder design pattern to construct different kinds of graph objects to be displayed on a WPF UI. I am using Ninject as my IOC container. However, I am try
If you're just planning to use service location, as in your examples, then named bindings work fine, as per Garys answer.
A better approach, however, is to use constructor injection, and use attributes. For exampl, from the ninject wiki:
Bind().To().Named("Strong");
Bind().To().Named("Weak");
...
class WeakAttack {
readonly IWeapon _weapon;
public([Named("Weak")] IWeapon weakWeapon)
_weapon = weakWeapon;
}
public void Attack(string victim){
Console.WriteLine(_weapon.Hit(victim));
}
}
Based on your comment to Gary, you're (strangely enough) stumbling into territory similar to what I asked a question about a few hours ago. See Remo's answer here: Using WithConstructorArgument and creating bound type
You would use When condition to define when to create the correct instance.
