Practical Difference Between IOC & AOP

[San Nan]

Dear All,


Can Any one Tell me the Practical Difference Between AOP & IOC.


Thanks

I'll take a stab at this. Asking for differences between IoC and AOP is kind of like asking the difference between apples and oranges.

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is concerned mainly with abstracting functionality that applies across the board to many components of your application. For example, logging and security. These have little or nothing to do with the actual business functionality but are essential system-wide functions nonetheless.

Inversion of Control (IoC), a.k.a. Dependency Injection (DI) is concerned with maintaining loose coupling and managing the dependencies between the components of an application.
