Windsor Castle : Property Inject - property-injection

Question

I implemented a CustomMembershipProvider which is deriving from ExtendedMembershipProvider. IUserService is a dependency of CustomMembershipProvider which will be used to validate the given credentials.
This will be configured in Web.Config;
<membership defaultProvider="DefaultMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<add name="DefaultMembershipProvider" type="BorderExpress.AutoImport.Web.Security.CustomMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/" />
</providers>
</membership>
Injecting IUserService implementation via constructor not possible as CustomMembershipProvider require a parameterless constructor.
So thought of introducing Property injection. I made IUserService as a public property of CustomMembershipProvider.
public class CustomMembershipProvider : ExtendedMembershipProvider
{
public IUserService UserService { get; set; }
public CustomMembershipProvider()
{
}
...
public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password)
{
var user = UserService.GetUser(username);
if (user != null && SaltedHash.Verify(user.Salt, user.Hash, password))
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
I wrote a separate installer only for this registration
public class WindsorMembershipInstaller:IWindsorInstaller
{
public void Install(Castle.Windsor.IWindsorContainer container, Castle.MicroKernel.SubSystems.Configuration.IConfigurationStore store)
{
container.Register(
Component.For<CustomMembershipProvider>()
);
}
}
That didn't work and UserService always NULL at the time of calling the ValidateUser.
And I tried contributors;
public class RequireUserServiceProperties : IContributeComponentModelConstruction
{
public void ProcessModel(Castle.MicroKernel.IKernel kernel, Castle.Core.ComponentModel model)
{
model.Properties
.Where(p => p.Dependency.TargetItemType == typeof(IUserService))
.All(p => p.Dependency.IsOptional = false);
}
}
And register the contributor where I bootstrap the container.
_container = new WindsorContainer()
.Install(FromAssembly.This());
_container.Kernel.ComponentModelBuilder.AddContributor(new RequireUserServiceProperties());
Please do let me know how to inject the IUserService property of CustomMembershipProvider

I found an answer within the SO.
#Mauricio Scheffer has done custom implementation to utilize windsor to inject dependencies to membership provider.
Original question
How do I control MembershipProvider instance creation/lifetime?
