Named bulk registration with windsor castle

Question

In my project I have the interface IProcess and a lot of classes implementing this interface. I need to register all those implementations. The following code is working fine for me:

Container.Register(Component.For<IProcess>().Named("SampleProcess").ImplementedBy<SampleProcess>());
Container.Register(Component.For<IProcess>().Named("SampleProcess2").ImplementedBy<SampleProcess2>());

However using this approach for registering is tedious if I have a lot of implementations. Therefore I am looking for a registration method to register all implementations of IProcess in a given assembly by name. The name that should be used for the registration key is just the class name.

Can someone pls give me a hint where to look for?

Isn't that what happens by default if you don't specify a name explicitly? — Phil Degenhardt, Mar 07 '19 at 21:44

Sounds like a classic scenario for the convention registration API.

container.Register(
    Classes.FromThisAssembly()
        .BasedOn<IProcess>()
        .WithServiceBase()
        // and then if you *really* need to explicitly control naming
        .Configure(c => c.Named(c.Implementation.Name)
        )

Generally explicitly naming your components shouldn't be used, unless you have multiple components with the same implementation class, so just make sure you really need it.

Thank you Krzysztof! It was really this simple - I was playing around alot with the convention reg api but something was always missing. The line containing the name configuration was indeed not needed in my case. – marco birchler Mar 08 '19 at 06:42
