It looks like your example code is using Autofac. We've been using autofac for a few weeks now with a lot of success. It's really helped to point our dependencies and to move us away from using statics and singletons. It also makes testing much easier. We were using Typemock which can do things like mock out statics and new's, but now we are using Rhino mocks more (the Rhino AAA syntax is really nice).
