ASP.NET MVC DI with Common Service Locator and NInject
Published on August 5th, 2010.
I think everyone knows about Dependency Injection (DI) and how important it is when it comes to building low-coupled components. There are many IoC (Inversion of Control) containers. The most popular are
Each of them has its own pros and cons. I have been using NInject for years and I am really happy with it. Autofac is quite a new DI framework which shows really good results on benchmarks. You can find information for all DI frameworks on their websites or just google them for comparison. (more…)

WPF MVVM and Showing Dialogs
Published on January 5th, 2010.

But you know that using this pattern you write low-coupled and fully testable code (I hope). As MVVM says, the View can contain only XAML declarations. That is, no code-behind is present in your .xaml.cs file. (more…)
