I have a type (at runtime), I want to use it with an IOC container (in this case StructureMap) to find a generic implementation using this type. How do I do that?

I had a great talk with my friend Dave today. He’s a Data Scientist. He knows his stuff, for sure. We talked about a number of things, but one that really stuck out was data migration. He says never to migrate via code, use a tool. You are reinventing the wheel. You are locked into… Continue reading 2 minutes on Migrating Data
