R – Castle Windsor auto registration

castle-windsor

I currently have the following registration set up

private static void AddFrameworkComponentsTo(IWindsorContainer container)
{
    container.AddComponent<ITypeConverter, TypeConversionFacade>();
    container.AddComponent<Framework.Conversion.ITypeConverter<string, int>, StringConverter>();
    container.AddComponent<Framework.Conversion.ITypeConverter<string, decimal>, StringConverter>();
    container.AddComponent<Framework.Conversion.ITypeConverter<string, DateTime>, StringConverter>();
}

What's the easiest way to avoid having to register each interface to the same component? As you can see, my "StringConverter" class implements several different interfaces, and the list is likely to grow.

Edit
I've just realised that the above doesn't even work because complains about the key, so had to change it to below:

container.AddComponent<Framework.Conversion.ITypeConverter<string, int>, StringConverter>("ITypeConverter<string, int>");
container.AddComponent<Framework.Conversion.ITypeConverter<string, decimal>, StringConverter>("ITypeConverter<string, decimal>");
container.AddComponent<Framework.Conversion.ITypeConverter<string, DateTime>, StringConverter>("ITypeConverter<string, DateTime>");

What's the best way to handle this?

How about:

container.Register(Component.For(typeof(StringConverter).GetInterfaces())
                            .ImplementedBy(typeof(StringConverter)));

See the fluent API wiki for more information on fluent registration.
