The limited look I gave it (a whiiiiile ago), it seemed like "The Architect's Choice"™: a little over-designed. As further down the thread, I'd go with Ninject.

So CW is the big one that tries to do absolutely everything, while Ninject just does what's needed?

Yeah, that was my opinion of the two of them.

So, you're still alive. Apart from appearing on Steam occasionally, you seemed kind of dead.

Yep, still alive. Was unemployed for about six months, and now I'm on the job again but busier than before. Not as much time to mess around on CP.

Without trying to sound controversial, DI in most cases is a complete waste of time and effort.

Most cases, perhaps. Trying to determine whether it's a good decision in THIS case.

Yeah - I've worked on a couple of systems of reasonable size where DI has been used. One using castle windsor.
I personally found it added more complexity and saved little if anything. We weren't using unit testing at the time, so it didn't help with that either.
It seemed to me to be one of those times when some dev has persuaded everyone to use the latest big thing and nobody really looks at the benefits for that application.
As i only used it on that one system it's difficult to be objective - maybe others have had more success.

I've not used CW, but I am currently working on an MVC project that uses Ninject. As far as DI/IoC, I'd say it has helped keep me on the right track. That is, I have to think things out ahead of time, and avoid writing a function in one view that I copy/paste into another view (or action). With the logic centralized into a repository, I can easily reuse that logic without taking the easy way out and writing sloppy/unmaintainable/hard to refactor code. I was also using it at the beginning of my project to create a "fake" repository that I used to code the views without doing the plumbing in the CMS to provide real data.
It also has other hypothetical benefits which I have not yet made use of. One being that I can test to code more easily. Another being that I can reuse the views for other projects (e.g., standard widgets). I could also easily swap out components (e.g., the data store) and do some central changes (e.g., optimize performance by caching some operations).
One cool use case is that you can use it to use debug code without worrying about it making its way to your production environment. For example, if you need to ensure your CSS/JavaScript files are never cached while debugging, you simply apply a query string to the file where it is referenced. In your real repository (the one you use with release builds), the cache-buster query string is empty. In your fake repository, the cache-buster changes with each page request. You can swap out other settings in a similar fashion to ensure the development process is quicker without having to worry about scrubbing your debug values/logic when deploying to production.

Hmm, I like the idea of it forcing better structure. I may be the only developer on this project, but I'm also not a morning person, so I can be sloppy at times. Component reuse is a plus too, but so far WPF's MVVM structure has made that pretty simple.
The last concern I have right now is that in terms of code structure, WPF and DI/IoC may be a little redundant. Different layouts both accomplishing the same goal. I might use some light DI/IoC for the model, and do the GUIs normally.

We've been using .LESS and Javascript packagers and minifiers for years and the concept of writing a single file and having that generate multiple files is brilliant.
For example, we'll update a JavaScript file and have the updates automatically be included in a number of other files, and also have minified versions of those files be created too.
We have a situation where we're porting some SQL Server stuff to MySQL (well, probably MariaDB) and the syntax for stored procedures is similar but not the same. We've been playing with T4 templates that would allow us to have all versions in one file, and then have .sql and .mysql versions of the stored procedure files created. It works, but it's not seamless.
So I was wondering: has anyone else played with any file templating solutions like this (and not necessarily for SQL files - anything really)? We're *this* close to writing our own VS extension but didn't want to go down that path if there's a neater solution or better approach to these things.

What's wrong with you man, a couple of regexp and knock it all through sed.

Totally a legit way to do it, but clunky.
I looking for ideas that others have used. Preferably something that's a massive overkill for the problem at hand. Something that would appear on Software Developers Gone Wild or something.

I thought the whole idea of Codeproject was that it was about de-ve-lop-ing, not this copy'n'paste bull!
