Modular Dependency Injection in .NET
When I was building application with .NET Framework I always used libraries like Autofac and SimpleInjector for dependency injection. I really liked to create modules (Packages in SimpleInjector) to achieve higher cohesion and lower coupling in my class libraries. I made a module for every class library in which all dependencies inside of that class library were registered. Why should my web application (for example) know if MyBeautifulService in MyBeautifulClassLibrary should be transient or singleton?

Chicken and Egg problem - being able to overwrite the config file and the class it instantiates

Does anybody has a recommended resource about Dependency Injection?
My favorite DI container is LightInject. Very fast and has all the features that I need. Other good DI containers are Grace and SimpleInjector, IMO.

Just saw a new pattern, I call it "almost factory"
Most of the DI containers have a feature of resolving components by name. Here's an example of a "typed factory" that can be provided by the container and the component name can be used to select the service implementation: https://github.com/castleproject/Windsor/blob/master/docs/typed-factory-facility-interface-based.md
