Hi Guy BioNexus,

Thank you for posting here.

Based on my search, you could download the source file from the IOC Container For .Net -Unity, Ninject, Autofac at a glance.

In the article, it shows comparison between three most popular DI in .net. It has a good explanation of comparison between Ninject and Autofac.

I hope this would be helpful.

Best Regards,

Wendy

I've used both (amongst others). They all do basically the same thing but with different approaches. Nobody can really answer this question for you as only you know the requirements of your app. Do you need to be able to configure this at runtime? What kind of performance are you interested in? Do you need nested scopes? Do you want something that integrates into a console app or ASP.NET core, etc? All these questions you should already have the answer to. Then look at the documentation and forums for each of the IoCs and see which one meets all your requirements. That is the only way to know which one to use. Different apps may have different requirements so what works for your current app may not bee a good choice for the next app.

Hello,

Have only worked with NInject, only issue we've ran into is with very complex base classes but works fine for medium level complexity.
