IoC Container

[Derek Smith]

I am looking for a lightweight Inversion of Control container besides the
Spring Framework. Is there a .NET implementation of Pico Container? What
other IoC containers are people using for .NET?

See http://www.picocontainer.org/Ports

What other IoC containers are people using for .NET?

There's ObjectBuilder from the patterns & practices team, which is an API
to implement IOC containers (http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=ObjectBuilder),
and StructureMap (http://structuremap.sourceforge.net/), and probably many
more -- just search on www.theserverside.net.

Also note that newer .NET technologies WPF and WCF have IOCish features.
XAML for example is all about declaring static object relationships for UI
elements and colloborating objects that provide input, translate complex
types to and from strings, etc.
