IOC Part 2 - Ninject How it works and how to use



Intro

This article is a follow-up to its predecessor Introduction to IOC AKA IOC Part 1, basically I am have chosen a dependency injection container that I have been acquainted with for some time now and I will be going in deep on how it works and how we can use it in a real life application.

First – Know Ninject

It is a dependency injection container that is used to separate application parts to be more loosely coupled, highly maintainable and then weirs them back with each other flexibly, so in Short it does IOC “you can check the previous article if you need more of understanding on what IOC really is here is the link  http://mohammedezzatawad.blogspot.com/2012/08/ioc-inversion-of-control-principle.html”

Second – How it works

So that’s a good and a very important thing you need to know before using any framework, how does it work and to be precise the question you need to ask yourself is what is going on under the hood?, well as most of the Dependency Injection containers it is basically using reflection to analyze the types it is working with and to weir object implementations at runtime. It also uses the generation system the one that was introduced in CLR 2 AKA Microsoft dynamics which allows you to create types at runtime.

Third - Lets Use Ninject

For a start lets know where you can get the framework, you can either download it from their official site http://www.ninject.org/download.html  or you can download it using nugget.
Following there will be a blog post on how to use Ninject in a testing application

Xamarin Forms Core components Part 1 Dependency Service

Intro Xamarin Forms is a collection of controls that can be used and rendered on multiple platforms, and in order of them to function as they are suppose to, they do need a set of core components that defines the way these controls, in how they are created, how they are rendered to how they are used, of course every platform is different and sometimes a platform specific extra configuration is required, specially that there are so many differences between the different platforms in matter of design, user experience and operating system behavior. So one of the core components of  Xamarin  Forms is the Dependency Service, and by the name suggest it does act as the dependency resolver for all forms controls, if you are not familiar with IOC " I nversion O f C ontrol" and Dependency Injection please refer to the link for a quick intro i wrote a while ago on IOC  IOC Part 1 - Inversion of control Principle .  And as of such the Dependency Service is the concrete inboxe

Xamarin Forms: XAML Creating Custom Controls The MVVM Way

Intro For a growing UI page there always comes a need to create sub views that can be used inside a bigger view, and for that we need custom controls, which are controls that are derived either from a layout or a simple view which is the basic control for almost any UI component in Xamarin forms, and therefore for a start i will use that as an example. And in such example we will create a custom control with a set of bindable properties and explain how they work, also how to add an event that can also be bound to Commands Lets Create the control  I have just went ahead and created a custom control that inherits from Xamarin.Forms.View and have some properties such color and checked all properties to be bound to by the ViewModel serving as the datacontext of the this control. here is the code below using System; using Xamarin.Forms; namespace UserControls { public class CustomView : View { public Color Color { get ; set ;
