Who creates an instance of controller?

Question

After a while, I was successfully able to wire up Castle Windstor DI (IOC) to my WebApi project.

Now, I am trying to understand how it works.

For the above reason,

Just want to say that I am using VS2012 and WebAPI 2 if that helps. :)

Debug Windstor Castle in what way? IIS and ASP .NET would create the WebAPI controller. — rhughes, May 22 '14 at 11:48
