This is mostly used for configuring open generic types Shortcut to register a Concrete Type as an instance. This method supports method chaining to allow you to add constructor and setter arguments for the concrete type Shortcut to simply use the Instance with the given name An Expression Builder that is used throughout the Registry DSL to add and define Instances Register a previously built Instance. This provides a "catch all" method to attach custom Instance objects. Synonym for IsThis() Inject this object directly. Synonym to IsThis() Build the Instance with the constructor function and setter arguments. Starts the definition of a SmartInstance Build the Instance with the constructor function and setter arguments.

Use this method for open generic types, and favor the generic version of OfConcreteType for all other types Build the Instance with the constructor function and setter arguments. Use this method for open generic types, and favor the generic version of OfConcreteType for all other types Create an Instance that builds an object by calling a Lambda or an anonymous delegate with no arguments Create an Instance that builds an object by calling a Lambda or an anonymous delegate with the IContext representing the current object graph. Use the Instance of this PluginType with the specified name. This is generally only used while configuring child dependencies within a deep object graph Use the default Instance of this PluginType. This is generally only used while configuring child dependencies within a deep object graph Creates an Instance that stores this object of type T, and returns a cloned copy of the template. Caches template as a serialized byte stream. Uses deserialization to create copies when the Instance is built. Creates an Instance that will load an ASCX user control from the url Creates an Instance according to conditional rules Used as an expression builder to specify setter injection policies Directs StructureMap to treat all public setters of type T as mandatory properties Directs StructureMap to tread all public setters with a PropertyType that matches the predicate as a mandatory setter Directs StructureMap to treat all public setters that match the rule as mandatory properties Directs StructureMap to treat all public setters with a property type in the specified namespace as mandatory properties Directs StructureMap to treat all public setters with a property type in the specified namespace as mandatory properties Directs StructureMap to treat all public setters where to property name matches the specified rule as a mandatory property Base class for creating an object instance from an InstanceMemento. SubClasses are emitted for each concrete Plugin with constructor parameters. Allows built-in registration conventions to be configurable through the assembly scanning DSL Intended for StructureMap internal use only. Custom registration convention instances can be directly configured before being passed to IAssemblyScanner.With(IRegistrationConvention). Simply query to see if there are any implementations registered Ejects any instances of this instance from the current container and permanently removes the instance from the container configuration Eject all instances of this PluginType from the current container, but leaves the lifecycle behavior The "instance" that will be used when Container.GetInstance(PluginType) is called.

Can be used to query for the existence of types registered with StructureMap Can StructureMap fulfill a request to ObjectFactory.GetInstance(pluginType) from the current configuration. This does not include concrete classes that could be auto-configured upon demand Can StructureMap fulfill a request to ObjectFactory.GetInstance<T>() from the current configuration. This does not include concrete classes that could be auto-configured upon demand Queryable access to all of the InstanceRef for a given PluginType Queryable access to all of the InstanceRef for a given PluginType Does the current container have existing configuration for the "pluginType" Does the current container have existing configuration for the type T Find the concrete type for the default Instance of T. In other words, when I call Container.GetInstance(Type), what do I get? May be indeterminate Find the concrete type for the default Instance of pluginType.

See InstanceRef for more information The build "policy" for this PluginType. Used by the WhatDoIHave() diagnostics methods All of the InstanceRef's registered for this PluginType The actual concrete type of this Instance. Not every type of IInstance can determine the ConcreteType Ejects and removes all objects and the configuration for the named instance from the container Ejects and removes all objects and configuration for the instances that match the filter Determines if the pluggedType can be upcast to the pluginType Determines if the PluggedType is a valid Plugin into the PluginType Imports configuration from an Xml file. The fileName must point to an Xml file with valid StructureMap configuration Imports configuration directly from an XmlNode. This method was intended for scenarios like Xml being embedded into an assembly. The node must be a 'StructureMap' node Creates and adds a Registry object of type T. The Registry Type Imports all the configuration from a Registry object If true, makes the existence of the StructureMap.config mandatory. The default is false. If true, the StructureMap.config file will be ignored even if it exists. The default is false. If true, directs StructureMap to look for configuration in the App.config. The default value is false. Designate the Default Profile. This will be applied as soon as the Container is initialized.

This class actually already exists in the System.Core assembly...as an internal class. I can only speculate as to why it is internal, but it is obviously much too dangerous for anyone outside of Microsoft to be using...
