In this follow up post I try to tackle the more advanced stuff which is possible with the new ninject extension for Windows Workflow Foundation. The goal is to show the following topics:

• Hooking into the injection chain
• Possible side effects
• Changing the extensions behavior
• Download the extension

.NET Dependency Injection, Ninject, Workflow Foundation 4

In my last post I raised the following questions:

• How do you inject dependencies into activities without having to declare the dependencies as input arguments?
• How do you build up extensions using DI mechanism?
• How do you unit test components which host workflow applications or workflow invokers without actually invoking a real workflow?

In this follow up post I try to answer these questions.

The Named Scope extension adds the three additional Scopes InCallScope, InNamedScope and InParentScope to Ninject. In this Blogpost I want to explain how they are used. Some parts of this post expect that you have a basic knowledge about the Context Preservation extension. Consider reading my blog post about the Context Preservation Extension before reading this one.

In this blog post I explain how the Context Preservation extension works and for what it is used.

Windows Workflow Foundation 4 offers a comprehensive set of tools to design, create and host your own workflows in your application.

Looking back it was very easy to get it run in my desktop, to get the data I’m storing on it. (A little database and some Webservices)
