Programmatical "Spring.Net" Configuration

I have started work on a project which uses Spring.Net, and i'm coming at it from a Unity background. I'm trying to set up an integration test for part of the solution, and need to setup Spring to build all my classes on demand. I don't want to use configuration files.

I want to do the following:

I've populated my types (Including mocks) in the container, and configured my root instance, but no types get populated. There don't appear to be any attributes to specify what I want, and type mappings are done by string names.

I was looking at building up a MutablePropertyValues collection, but they only seem to take instances of the class I want to populate, rather than a reference, which breaks lazy loading. Is there a reference type class I can use?

Appologies if this is a bit vague, but I know what I want to achieve, and am unsure as to what the best way to achieve it would be.

For configuring Spring .NET using code you can use the CodeConfig project- http://www.springframework.net/codeconfig/index.html

How do you run your tests? You can inherit from AbstractDependencyInjectionSpringContextTests and your classes will be loaded from the container. More info here - http://www.springframework.net/doc-latest/reference/html/testing.html
