I think I need to know more about this topic. So I will started reading from these links below. I thought I’d take a quick look at Windsor.

Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection with Castle Windsor Container - Part I

  Let’s first show “tight coupling” -  Later we’ll “de-couple” our code 
// Tightly coupled. The CarService() is locked into a 
// specific engine.
ICar car = new CarService();
car.setPedalPressure(12);
float speed = car.getSpeed();
MessageBox.Show("Speed is " + speed.ToString(), "**NOTE**", MessageBoxButton.OK);

 CarService – Locked in

 

 
  We introduce Dependency Injection to lower coupling
  Dependency Injection Implemented

bullet

The user of DefaultCarService can choose the engine implementation.

bullet

Notice the yellow highlighted text - the DefaultCarService takes two types of engines

bullet

DefaultEngine - one of the two engine types that can be injected

bullet

BigV8Engine - one of the two engine types that can be injected


Notice that the DefaultCarService constructor supports dependency injection

// Main code decides on the engine implementation. We chose Default but we
// cloud choose BigV8EngineService()


ICar car = new DefaultCarService(new DefaultEngineService());
car.setPedalPressure(12);
float speed = car.getSpeed();
MessageBox.Show(Speed is  + speed.ToString(), **NOTE**, MessageBoxButton.OK);

// Easily swap in a completely different and highly decoupled Engine Service

car = new DefaultCarService(new BigV8EngineService());
car.setPedalPressure(12);
speed = car.getSpeed();
MessageBox.Show(Speed is  + speed.ToString(), **NOTE**, MessageBoxButton.OK); 

 
 

    class DefaultCarService : ICar
    {
        IEngine _engine = null;
        public DefaultCarService(IEngine engineImplementation) 
        {
            _engine = engineImplementation;
        }
        public float getSpeed()
        {
            return _engine.getEngineRotation();
        }
        public void setPedalPressure(float pedal_pressure)
        {
            if (pedal_pressure > 4.0 && pedal_pressure <= 6)
                _engine.setFuelConsumptionRate(23.3F);
            else if (pedal_pressure > 6.0)
                _engine.setFuelConsumptionRate(33.3F);
            else
            {
                _engine.setFuelConsumptionRate(13.3F);
            }
        }
    }
