StructureMap: Programmatically retrieve list of instance keys from StructureMap.config

Question

I've defined a for a specific interface within my StructureMap.config. There can be many different available concrete types defined.

I would like to programmatically retrieve a list of available instance keys (names) that are currently available without actually parsing the StructureMap.config file itself. Is there any way to do this?

Yes, you can inspect the container using its Model property.

For example, the following code will print the names of all instances of IWidget:

foreach(var instance in container.Model.InstancesOf<IWidget>())
{
    Console.WriteLine(instance.Name);
}
