Does an abstract class work with StructureMap as an interface?

Question

I am a big fan of StructureMap and use it in almost everything I do. However, I used it only with interfaces. I was wondering if anyone has any experience using abstract classes? or ... does this type of wiring support? If you got this to work, can you send an example?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, abstract classes work just like interfaces.

If WorkerBase is an abstract class, and RealWorker is an implementation, then:

var container = new Container(x => x.For<WorkerBase>().Use<RealWorker>()); var worker = container.GetInstance<WorkerBase>();
