I am currently reading, Dependency Injection in .NET[^]
I think the title sounds terribly limited, but just the first chapter is worth reading this book.
Also, interesting that Amazon doesn't have the ebook available because I'm reading it on my SafariBooks bookshelf.
This book does a great job of tying together patterns to real world code and shows some terrific examples even here in the first chapter.
Have any of you read it? It's very good. Even if you've read a lot about DI this is worth the read because it makes you contemplate it from some new angles.
It's written very well, very clearly.

I read it about a month ago and it is excellent at explaining Dependency Injection and the rationale behind it. However, note that the book is 5 years old and the entire chapter devoted to the Unity container is badly out of date.
Nevertheless, it is very worthwhile to read, especially when you start out with an application framework like Prism.

Thanks for the warning on that. I noticed the book was a bit older and wondered what parts that might affect.

The same may apply to the chapter covering MEF, but I did not read it as I am only interested in the Unity container at the moment.

That would be my focus also, as we are using Unity here.
So far, the author is covering the aspects of DI that I've noticed and questioned but not seen touched upon in such a clear way in other places. There are some things you get from Unity for example (like object lifetime that you can just take for granted).
Also, his simple first explanation of the decorator pattern was very cool.
I like books that give me a fresh angle like this.

Yes, but I like to specify the ContainerControlledLifetimeManager whenever it is not too restrictive. With this lifetime manager, it is just easier to implement the IDisposable interface in your classes. As far as I know it is the only option you have in Unity to guarantee the Dispose() method will fire when you dispose of the container.

Thanks for posting this. I have bookmarked your response for further study. My application is strictly a desktop app using Prism.Unity. Munq definitely seems faster than Unity, but I wonder how much difference it will make in my case?

May the 5th (not original)
Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

The problem I have with cooking with alcohol is that there never seems to be enough left, by the time I need to add it.
