Edit Question - KnowledgeHub

Title Body

Well, I'm making my foray into this fantastic site with a question about the correct way to inject configuration settings into application components. So, the overview is : I have an application written in C# .Net 3.5. It consists of 3 assemblies - a Core, a Data and a Service. The data & service assemblies require settings retrieved from the app.config, which is done via a settings file, eg. Code : public static String RequestQueueConnectionString { get { return ConnectionSettings.Default.RequestQueueConnectionString; } } Config : <applicationSettings> <MyNamespace.Data.ConnectionSettings> <setting name="RequestQueueConnectionString" serializeAs="String"> ... Now, the assemblies are all setup using StructureMap for IoC - which to my mind should provide the answer to what I am looking for, but I just can't quite see it! IoC : public static void ConfigureStructureMap(IContainer container) { container.Configure(x => ... ... What I want to be able to do is to inject a configuration class already populated into the IoC container such that those settings are used for that assembly, NOT those specified in the settings file / app.config. So perhaps : public static void ConfigureStructureMap(IContainer container, MyConfigClass config) { container.Configure(x => x.For<DataConfig>() .Singleton() .Use ??? ... I hope I have provided enough details here - forgive a newbie if I have not and please let me know what else would be helpful in answering this!
