Using Spring.net in console application

• Download Spring.net in http://www.springframework.net/

• Install Spring.NET.exe

• Create a console application, and reference Spring.Core.dll.

• Add App.config to project, the content is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
   <configSections>
      <sectionGroup name="spring">
         <section name="context" type="Spring.Context.Support.ContextHandler, Spring.Core"/>
      </sectionGroup>
   </configSections>
   <spring>
      <context>
         <resource uri="spring.xml.config"/>
      </context>
   </spring>
</configuration>

• Program.cs as follows

namespace ConsoleApplication5
{
   class Program
   {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         IApplicationContext context = ContextRegistry.GetContext();
 
         Hello hello = (Hello)context.GetObject("hello");
 
         System.Console.Out.WriteLine(hello.HelloWorld);
         System.Console.In.Read();
      }
   }
 
   class Hello
   {
      private string helloworld;
 
      public string HelloWorld
      {
         get { return this.helloworld; }
         set { this.helloworld = value; }
      }
   }
}

• Add spring.xml.config to project (set Copy always to output directory), the content is as follows

主程序中调用context.GetObject并传入"hello"参数，就会在这里查找相应的类，以其来创建实例，并根据配置给此实例的属性HelloWorld赋值。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<objects xmlns="http://www.springframework.net">
   <object id="hello" type="ConsoleApplication5.Hello">
      <property name="HelloWorld" value="Hello!Welcome to Spring.Net World!"/>
   </object>
</objects>

• Run application.

• Spring.net的核心思想是Ioc，依赖文件中的配置来决定程序的执行走向。
