João,
So, about your first question, Google Groups or my email doesn't seem to made
any line bold, but I assume you were talking about the last line?
The doco has a page about it:
http://docs.castleproject.org/Windsor.Passing-Arguments.ashx which I admit
could use some improvement and clarification.
basically, depending on whether your IHtmlTitleRetriever is resolved in your
CompositionRoot or inside another component, you would use the
container.Resolve(new Arguments(yourStuff)) or a typed factory respectively.
I hope that's clear enough. I'll try to update the doco to make it simpler to
understand which to use where.
As for the general quality of the documentation, I'm a bit stumped why you
would want something like the Autofac site you linked to. It doesn't seem to
give you anything you can't discover with IntelliSense.
I do agree we could use some more examples. I'll add some for the Arguments
class. Let me know if you have any other feedback.
