I did notice your discussion about the Service Locator (anti)pattern in your upcoming book (MEAP Ch 5). This brings up some very interesting points. I need to dig in and learn more. Thanks, Mark.

Much more about that in my book :) With that in mind I consider the Common Service Locator redundant at best. Personally, I would never take a depedency on it.

What's nice about the CSL is that it is created in collaboration with people from the major IoC frameworks. There are however still some things that has to be sorted out. Look for instance at this discussion I started: http://commonservicelocator.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=77730. Next to that there are some minor issues, like this one: http://commonservicelocator.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=9676.

In itself it's not a DI framework, but it's a shared interface for plugging in DI frameworks. Cheers Hi Matt,
