How to register a component in XML that is a concrete generic where the generic is an array?

[George Mauer]

This is a simple issue of me not knowing proper Xml syntax. In castle
windsor I can duplicate this line of code:

IoC.Container.AddComponent<IInputRequestedDialog<string>,
SealsInputDialog>("seals");
With this Xml:

<component id="seals"
service="MyApp.InputRequestedDialog`1[[System.String]], MyApp"
type="MyApp.SealsInputDialog, MyApp" />
But what if the concrete generic is a string array rather than a
string? How do I xml-ize the following?

IoC.Container.AddComponent<IInputRequestedDialog<string[]>,
SealsInputDialog>("seals");

I just did

Console.WriteLine(typeof (IFoo<string[]>).FullName);

the output was:

IFoo`1[[System.String[], mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]

so I guess

 service="MyApp.InputRequestedDialog`1[System.String[] ], MyApp"

should be working,
and if not,

 service="MyApp.InputRequestedDialog`1[[System.String[], mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]], MyApp"

must do the trick

Awesome! Didn't even know that I could find these out using this
method. Thanks a lot.
