Castle Windsor Registration of Interface and Abstract Implementations

Question

I am trying to work out how to auto register implementations of an generic abstract class or interface. Here are my classes:

public abstract class AbstractValidator<T> : IValidator<T>
{
   public void Validate(T)
   {
      ...
   }
}

public class CustomerValidator:AbstractValidator<Customer>
{
  ...
}

I am trying the following:

_container = new WindsorContainer();
_container.Register(
    AllTypes.FromAssemblyContaining<ValidationPatterns>()
         .BasedOn<IValidator>()
         .WithService.Base()
    }));

IValidator<Customer> val = _container.Resolve<IValidator<Customer>>();

Any tips greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Answer 1

You're close. Should be BasedOn(typeof(IValidator<>)) that is the generic open type.

Cheers.
