Ninject has the Kernel, but in Autofac's Google pages they recommend doing something like this : using( var resolver = builder.Build() ){ var whatINeed = resolver.Resolve<INeedThisService>(); } It's a WinForms app, so I got an Invalid Object state from doing the above, so I switched to having a global IContainer, and did it this way

Jul 7, 2016 · First thing you need to do in order to use a container like Autofac is register all your dependencies. In Autofac you can do that a few ways but all of them rely on using the a ContainerBuilder. The ContainerBuilder relies on extension methods so make sure you have a using statement for the Autofac namespace.

Aug 14, 2020 · How is AutoFac better than Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection? Autofac supports Property and Method injection (however I don't really understand where Property and Method injection might be useful). I mean why should I use AutoFac when I can do the same thing by Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection

Oct 23, 2015 · It would be great if the Autofac docs showed more detailed examples. It's not readily apparent how the example here relates to Autofac's delegate factory documentation given the examples therein don't show explicit factory registration. That said, how would you describe this usage pattern as opposed to what is shown in the Autofac docs?

Autofac doesn't really support doing what you're asking. If you can't change the registrations, you might be hosed. Doing any queries against the collection of registrations doesn't necessarily take into account dynamic registration sources (some of which are automatically registered in the container - to support things like IEnumerable<T> ).

Sep 10, 2009 · By using expressions as opposed to autowiring there is less room for misunderstanding of what the container is "doing" when it resolves a type (note: autofac supports autowiring if you prefer). Finally the Windsor API has become so huge as to cater for every possibility it gives the impression of complexity, when IOC as a concept is actually ...

Oct 28, 2021 · I can't figure out how to add Autofac into the middleware pipeline. Any help is greatly appreciated. Code snippet from Autofac website. public class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { // ASP.NET Core 3.0+: // The UseServiceProviderFactory call attaches the // Autofac provider to the generic hosting mechanism.

Apr 20, 2015 · There is another Nuget package for Autofac and Serilog integration here: Autofac-Serilog integration. It works well with ASP.NET Core 3.1. Steps: Install package; Create the logger as normal; Call builder.RegisterLogger() in one of the module or in the ConfigureContainer() method of the Startup.cs file

Mar 16, 2016 · Autofac implicitly supports this by default via the use of IEnumerable<T>.Instead of having your depending class's constructor take in a single instance of T, you make it take in an instance of IEnumerable<T> that will contain every T registered:

Mar 18, 2024 · Autofac can be registered as the ServiceProviderFactory for a HostApplicationBuilder via: builder.ConfigureContainer(new AutofacServiceProviderFactory(), builder => builder.RegisterModule(new AutofacBuilder(settings)));
