You would need an IoC container if you needed to centralize the configuration of your dependencies so that they may be easily swapped out en mass. This makes the most sense in TDD, where many dependencies are swapped out, but where there is little interdependence between the dependencies. This is done at the cost of obfuscating the flow of control of object construction to some degree, so having a well organized and reasonably documented configuration is important. It is also good to have a reason to do this, otherwise, it is mere abstraction gold-plating. I have seen it done so poorly that it was dragged down to being the equivalent to a goto statement for constructors.

想必没有人强迫您使用依赖注入容器框架。您已经使用DI来解耦类并改进可测试性，因此您将获得许多好处。简而言之，你喜欢简单，这通常是件好事。

如果您的系统达到了一个复杂的水平，手动DI变成了一件苦差事(也就是说，增加了维护)，请将其与DI容器框架的团队学习曲线进行权衡。

如果您需要对依赖生命周期管理进行更多的控制(也就是说，如果您觉得需要实现单例模式)，请查看DI容器。

如果使用DI容器，请只使用需要的特性。跳过XML配置文件，在代码中配置即可。坚持构造函数注入。Unity或StructureMap的基本内容可以压缩到几个页面中。

Mark Seemann写了一篇很棒的博文:什么时候使用DI容器

我知道这是一个相当老的帖子，但它似乎仍然相当活跃，我想我可以贡献一些在其他回答中没有提到的观点。

我同意依赖注入的好处，但我更喜欢自己构造和管理对象，使用与Maxm007在回答中概述的模式相似的模式。我发现了使用第三方容器的两个主要问题:

1) Having a 3rd party library manage the lifetime of your objects "automagically" can lend itself to unexpected results. We have found that especially in large projects, you can have vastly more copies of an object than you expect, and more than you would if you were manually managing the lifecycles. I'm sure this varies depending on the framework used, but the problem exists nonetheless. This can also be problematic if your object holds resources, data connections, etc., since the object can sometimes live longer than you expect. So inevitably, IoC containers tend to increase the resource utilization and memory footprint of an application.

2) IoC containers, in my opinion, are a form of "black box programming". I have found that in particular, our less experienced developers tend to abuse them. It allows the programmer to not have to think about how objects should relate to each other or how to decouple them, because it provides them with a mechanism in which they can simply grab any object they want out of thin air. Eg, there may be a good design reason that ObjectA should never know about ObjectB directly, but rather than creating a factory or bridge or service locator, an inexperienced programmer will simply say "no problem, I'll just grab ObjectB from the IoC container". This can actually lead to increased object coupling, which is what IoC is supposed to help prevent.

不需要IoC容器。

但是如果您严格遵循依赖注入模式，您会发现使用一个依赖注入模式将会删除大量冗余的、无聊的代码。

无论如何，这通常是使用一个库/框架的最佳时机——当你了解它在做什么并且不需要库也能完成它的时候。

我支持你，瓦迪姆。IoC容器采用了一个简单、优雅且有用的概念，并使其成为您需要用200页手册学习两天的东西。

我个人很困惑，为什么IoC社区把Martin Fowler写的一篇漂亮、优雅的文章变成了一堆复杂的框架，通常只有200-300页的手册。

我尽量不去评判(哈哈!)，但我认为使用IoC容器的人(A)非常聪明，(B)对不如他们聪明的人缺乏同理心。对他们来说，每件事都很有意义，所以他们很难理解许多普通程序员会感到困惑的概念。这是知识的诅咒。理解IoC容器的人很难相信还有人不理解它。

The most valuable benefit of using an IoC container is that you can have a configuration switch in one place which lets you change between, say, test mode and production mode. For example, suppose you have two versions of your database access classes... one version which logged aggressively and did a lot of validation, which you used during development, and another version without logging or validation that was screamingly fast for production. It is nice to be able to switch between them in one place. On the other hand, this is a fairly trivial problem easily handled in a simpler way without the complexity of IoC containers.

我相信如果您使用IoC容器，您的代码将变得(坦白地说)难以阅读。为了弄清楚代码要做什么，您必须查看的地方的数量至少增加了一个。在天堂的某个地方，一位天使在呼喊。

哇，真不敢相信乔尔会喜欢这个

var svc = new ShippingService(new ProductLocator(), 
   new PricingService(), new InventoryService(), 
   new TrackingRepository(new ConfigProvider()), 
   new Logger(new EmailLogger(new ConfigProvider())));

在这:

var svc = IoC.Resolve<IShippingService>();

许多人没有意识到你的依赖链可能会变成嵌套的，手动连接它们很快就会变得笨拙。即使使用工厂，重复代码也是不值得的。

IoC容器可以很复杂，是的。但是对于这个简单的例子，我已经证明了它非常简单。

好吧，让我们进一步证明这一点。假设您有一些想要绑定到智能UI的实体或模型对象。这个智能UI(我们称它为Shindows Morms)希望你实现INotifyPropertyChanged，这样它就可以进行更改跟踪并相应地更新UI。

"好吧，听起来没那么难"于是你开始写。

你可以这样开始:

public class Customer
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public DateTime CustomerSince { get; set; }
    public string Status { get; set; }
}

．．结果是这样的:

public class UglyCustomer : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private string _firstName;
    public string FirstName
    {
        get { return _firstName; }
        set
        {
            string oldValue = _firstName;
            _firstName = value;
            if(oldValue != value)
                OnPropertyChanged("FirstName");
        }
    }

    private string _lastName;
    public string LastName
    {
        get { return _lastName; }
        set
        {
            string oldValue = _lastName;
            _lastName = value;
            if(oldValue != value)
                OnPropertyChanged("LastName");
        }
    }

    private DateTime _customerSince;
    public DateTime CustomerSince
    {
        get { return _customerSince; }
        set
        {
            DateTime oldValue = _customerSince;
            _customerSince = value;
            if(oldValue != value)
                OnPropertyChanged("CustomerSince");
        }
    }

    private string _status;
    public string Status
    {
        get { return _status; }
        set
        {
            string oldValue = _status;
            _status = value;
            if(oldValue != value)
                OnPropertyChanged("Status");
        }
    }

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string property)
    {
        var propertyChanged = PropertyChanged;

        if(propertyChanged != null)
            propertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

这是令人作呕的管道代码，我认为如果你手写这样的代码，你就是在从客户那里偷东西。有更好更聪明的工作方式。

听过“更聪明地工作，而不是更努力地工作”这句话吗?

想象一下，你团队里有个聪明人说:“这有个更简单的方法”

如果你让你的财产是虚拟的(冷静点，这没什么大不了的)，那么我们就可以自动地编织财产行为。(这被称为AOP，但是不要担心它的名字，专注于它将为你做什么)

根据你使用的IoC工具，你可以这样做:

var bindingFriendlyInstance = IoC.Resolve<Customer>(new NotifyPropertyChangedWrapper());

噗!所有手动INotifyPropertyChanged BS现在都自动为您生成，在对象的每个虚拟属性setter上。

这是魔法吗?是的!如果您相信这段代码完成了它的工作，那么您就可以安全地跳过所有属性包装的繁文缛节。你有业务问题要解决。

IoC工具用于AOP的其他一些有趣的用法:
