» Home » MicroKernel/Windsor » Getting Started » Part 1 - The basics

In this part of the Getting Started you will be introduced to the basic Windsor Container operations. You might be wondered: what about Castle MicroKernel? It is enough to say that when you are using the Windsor Container, you are, by consequence, using the MicroKernel as well.

We will use a Winforms project to experiment with the Windsor container. To set it up, follow the steps:

Open Visual Studio and go to New\Project... Select Windows Application

Now create a class named App. We will use it as the application entry point:


namespace GettingStartedPart1
{
    using System;
    using System.Windows.Forms;

    public class App
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            Application.Run(new Form1());
        }
    }
}

Remove the entry point method from the Form1.cs generated for you by Visual Studio:


namespace GettingStartedPart1
{
    using System;
    using System.Windows.Forms;

    public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
    {
        ...
        
//        [STAThread]
//        static void Main() 
//        {
//            Application.Run(new Form1());
//        }
    }
}
