Passing constructor arguments when using StructureMap
I suggest declaring that with the StructureMap configuration. Using the slightly newer StructureMap code:
For<IProductProvider>().Use<ProductProvider>
.Ctor<string>("connectionString").Is(someValueAtRunTime);
This way you don't burden your client code from having to know the value and can keep your IoC configuration separate from your main code.
I found the answer myself! Here is the solution:
ObjectFactory.With("connectionString").EqualTo(someValueAtRunTime).GetInstance<IProductProvider>();
Hope this helps others who have come across the same issue.
