Hi I use Autofac for Dependency injection with DNN (7.4+)
I use ChrisHammond Template.
https://github.com/ChrisHammond/DNNTe...

You need to manually Install Autofac and WebActivatorEx from Nuget


[assembly: WebActivatorEx.PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(purplecs.Modules.MedulawPodcast.Bindings), "RegisterServices")]
namespace purplecs.Modules.MedulawPodcast
{
public class Bindings
{//
public static IContainer Container { get; set; }

public static void RegisterServices()
{
var builder = new ContainerBuilder();

builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly())
.Where((x) => x.Name.EndsWith("Repository"))
.AsSelf();

Container = builder.Build();

}
}
}

I use the above Code to Registering My business logic Classes.

I also create a base Class for Portal Module Base

public classTModuleBase : PortalModuleBase
{

public TModuleBase()
{

Bindings.Container.InjectUnsetProperties(this);
// CheckSettings();

}

}

I my ascx file I Inherit my TModuleBase

public partial class TascxClass: TModuleBase
{
public TRepository tRepo {get;set;}
}

I use Property Injection method to inject the objects.

I suppose the same approach can be used for A MVC application too



Hope this helps

Thanks Phil,

It's definitely a start.

Allow me to reiterate the general concepts. You use WebActivatorEx to load and configure the container into your module. You then use AutoFac's property injection in your Base object for your module pages.

Thank you, this is a good work around for implementing dependency injection into my modules.

I am still looking for information related to the Dependency Injection built into DNN using the ComponentFactory, but this was very helpful.
