How can I dispose every instance object in StructureMap's ObjectFactory?

Question

I'm using StructureMap in my project and when the application finishes running I need to call the Dispose() method on all of the instances inside the ObjectFactory that implement IDisposable.

I cannot find anyway to do it via the StructureMap API.

Another thought I had was to get a reference to every instance and call it myself, but I cannot figure out how to loop through all of the instances.

Answer 1

I've figured it out. Here is the code:

foreach (PluginTypeConfiguration pluginType in ObjectFactory.Model.PluginTypes)
{
    IList instances = ObjectFactory.GetAllInstances(pluginType.PluginType);
    foreach (object instance in instances)
    {
        if (instance is IDisposable)
        {
            ((IDisposable)instance).Dispose();
        }
    }
}

Autofac can guarantee that components are disposed of predictably.
