Podcast 094 - Jeremy Miller on Lamar
Jeremy Miller has created an open-source IoC tool called Lamar. This episode is sponsored by Smartsheet.
Show Notes:
-
Instead, consider Lamar for your IoC container needs.
-
At one point I was rambling about ASP.NET Core’s inability to use the service locator pattern. Some quick points:
-
Don’t use Service Locator, there are lots of other better patterns to use.
-
DO NOT DO IT.
-
If you absolutely need it: here’s a blog post about it.
-
I was incorrect in the podcast by making a sweeping statement about ASP.NET Core not having service locator. But for a very specific, narrow case where I wanted to use the service locator pattern recently, I was unable to do so. This might have been my own failing, or something that just isn’t possible with the built-in ASP.NET IoC. I have not tried this very specific, narrow use case with Lamar yet.

-
I plugged my book, AOP in .NET yet again.
-
Lamar is named after Mirabeau Lamar (a hero of the Texas revolution)
