Adding an existing instance - via non-generic methods

[James Crowley]

Hi guys,

A quick question for you :) I need to add a type to StructureMap that has been created externally - and for which I don't know the exact type until runtime. I've used this before when I've known the type:

container.Configure(t=>t.ForRequestedType<T>().TheDefault.Is.Object(instance));

but the non-generic version of ForRequestedType doesn't have "TheDefault.Is" available as properties? In Windsor I'd just do

container.Kernel.AddComponentInstance(key, type, instance);

What can I use instead? Any input would be much appreciated!

With thanks,

James

You'll probably have to upgrade to the trunk (or wait for the
"soonish" release) and do:

container.Configure(t => t.For(typeof(TypeToRequest)).Use(instance));

In the trunk (which will be released in the next couple days) it's:

var container = new Container(x => {
  x.For(type).Use(instance).WithName(key);
});
