Description

If an IOC registered service has a constructor with an argument that is an array or an IEnumerable, instantiation of the service might fail. The cause of the failure is that the constructor argument is retrieved as IServiceLocator.GetInstance(argumentType), instead of IServiceLocator.GetAllInstance(arrayElementType).

Workaround: Register the array or IEnumerable in an IOC container with an implementation that calls IServiceLocator.GetAllInstances.
