WindsorControllerFactory

C#

Public Domain

Implements castle windsor IoC container to abstract calls from an ecommerce application to a database. This lets you change your RDBMS solution easily without a lot of refactoring and makes unit testing dead simple since you can use moq to create mock datastores to run your tests against, great for edge case testing
