IoC - Been there - done that - have a whole framework and more of it
Thomas and Josh are stoked about the IoC pattern found in the Castle framework project. As a result of their excitement they’ve posted a nifty little example on The Joy of Code.
I have had IoC incorporated in our PathNet framework for over 2 years now. It is very useful - even though the naming of the pattern leaves something to be desired. Dan and I discuss the naming issue on our alter ego site over here.
We have a little bit of a “chicken or the egg” problem. Because not only do we have IoC, we also have an insanely cool MVC Workflow system that beats the pants off all the recently discussed Model View Presenter ideas. Perhaps we can publish the product under Open Source at some point to build a community around it.
Architecturally it is better than DotNetNuke for example.
So I think our problem could be that it really doesn’t matter if we have the best framework on the market as long as nobody knows about it we may as well not have it. We will need to create a demo video and post it on toolsandhacks to illustrate how cool this code really is.
