Using Windsor In Winforms

I am using Windsor in windows application. I create a container and register components without any problems, but once i try to resolve anything, i get the following errorL

Castle.MicroKernel.ComponentResolutionException: 'Looks like you forgot to register the http module Castle.MicroKernel.Lifestyle.PerWebRequestLifestyleModule
To fix this add
<add name="PerRequestLifestyle" type="Castle.MicroKernel.Lifestyle.PerWebRequestLifestyleModule, Castle.Windsor" />
to the <httpModules> section on your web.config.
If you plan running on IIS in Integrated Pipeline mode, you also need to add the module to the <modules> section under <system.webServer>.
Alternatively make sure you have Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 assembly in your GAC (it is installed by ASP.NET MVC3 or WebMatrix) and Windsor will be able to register the module automatically without having to add anything to the config file.

I have tried adding the Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure, but that didn't help. I modified my app.config to this, but still no luck. I am still getting the same error.

Solution

  • I was able to figure out the issue. The issue was using the LifestylePerWebRequest. Other life styles should be used such as PerThread or Transient. Everything will work fine then.
