Constructor injection based on key with SimpleIoc

[marinasundstrom]

In my scenario, I want to inject an instance into a constructor as a parameter based on a key.

Is this something that the SimpleIoc could support, or should I choose another IoC container instead?

I'm thinking about adding support for an InjectAttribute.

Concept:

public class Foo 
{
  public Foo([Inject("bar1")] IBar bar) 
  {

  }
  // Omitted
}

Robert,

I am trying to learn C# and MVVM and often confused, but I did stumble across a small class that does what you want in https://www.amazon.com/Using-MVVM-Light-your-Xamarin/dp/1484224744 page 59.

Interestingly, I can find almost the same code and almost the same description here: http://www.guruumeditation.net/ioc-and-di-with-mvvm-light/

Both writeups are very similar with the Mvvm Light book having the following line:
Public static T GetInstanceDI<t>(this SimleIoc simpleIoc, string key = "") where T : Class

The <t> is an addition from the book.

Anyway, I don't understand how to work it exactly, but both pages say it should do what you want... If this would work for you, seems easy enough to implement.
