I can add a named instance to structuremap like this:

For<IFoo>().Add<Foo>().Named("FooOne");

which I can then get with:

ObjectFactory.GetNamedInstance<IFoo>("FooOne");

and I can pass parameters at runtime by registering like this:

For<IFoo>().Add<Foo>().Ctor<string>("someParam");

and get an instance like this:

ObjectFactory.With("someParam").EqualTo("blah").GetInstance<IFoo>();

All fine. But I want to have a named instance and pass it a parameter. So I'm registering like this:

For<IFoo>().Add<Foo>().Named("FooOne").Ctor<string>("someParam");

But I can't work out the syntax for getting a named instance AND passing it the parameter at runtime?? I'm trying to do something like:

ObjectFactory.With("someParam").EqualTo("blah").GetNamedInstance<IFoo>("FooOne");

But structuremap doesn't give me the option to GetNamedInstance after adding the parameter. Where am I going wrong?

Alternative approach suggestions would also be good. Essentially what I'm trying to do is register a concrete type for each element of an enum, and use the enum item to name it and retrieve it by name. But I need to be able to pass a parameter to the constructor at runtime.

Thanks in advance.

StructureMap doesn't provide an API for doing that.

You can use an abstract factory. There are lot's of examples that can be found here on Stack Overflow.

A few of them are this one and that one.

You can use 

var args = new ExplicitArguments();
args.SetArg("someParam", blah);
ObjectFactory.Container.GetInstance<IFoo>(args, "FooOne");
