Is there any way to use CSLA with Castle Windsor?

I know that CSLA can be used with Unity via the BuildUp method, however this does does not appear to be any equivalent capability with Castle Windsor. Has anyone figured out a way to combine these two?

You can write your own version of BuildUp:

		public static void BuildUp(object target)
		{
			var type = target.GetType();
			foreach (var property in type.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance))
			{
				if (property.CanWrite && Container.Kernel.HasComponent(property.PropertyType))
				{
					var value = Container.Resolve(property.PropertyType);
					try
					{
						property.SetValue(target, value, null);
					}
					catch (Exception ex)
					{
						var message = string.Format("Error setting property {0} on type {1}, See inner exception for more information.", property.Name, type.FullName);
						throw new ComponentActivatorException(message, ex);
					}
				}
			}
 
		}
where Container is the Castle Windsor container.
