Welcome to StructureMap, the oldest Inversion of Control container.

Getting StructureMap

StructureMap is available via NuGet:

> Install-Package StructureMap

Also, you can get it from the downloads area. If you want to fix a bug or just want to tinker with an idea, we love receiving pull requests!

Building the Source

To start using StructureMap, either use the DLL's in the "deploy" folder or click on the RunBuild.BAT file to run the full NAnt build. There is a known issue with the build "sticking" on the custom NAnt tasks. If this happens, delete the copies of StructureMap.Dll and StructureMap.DeploymentTasks.Dll in the bin\NAnt folder. Look in the "build" directory for the build products.

1. Clone the repository: git clone git://github.com/structuremap/structuremap.git
2. Run nant from the command line (if you have nant installed globally, you literally run nant). This generates the appropriate CommonAssemblyInfo.cs file that is linked into every project.
3. Open StructureMap.sln in Visual Studio 2008 or StructureMap_2010.sln in VS2010.
4. Build

Debugger Visualizers

These were an experiment to find a better way to analyze problems in the container. To enable the debugger visualizers in Visual Studio 2008, put a copy of StructureMap.dll and StructureMap.DebuggerVisualizers.dll in <My Documents>\Visual Studio 2008\Visualizers

WARNING: The visualizer is very early and not well tested. You may experience issues (unhandled exceptions while using the visualizer) if the version of StructureMap.dll in your project is not the exact version in your Visualizers folder.

A copy of the StructureMap website and documentation is in the "Docs" folder.

Please post any questions or bugs to the StructureMap Users mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/structuremap-users

The latest code and documentation is available on the main site: http://structuremap.net/

Thanks for trying StructureMap.
