Autofac

Autofac takes a slightly different approach for registering types, by providing the concrete type as the first parameter. The registration is done on the ContainerBuilder instance.

Manual registration

• RegisterType<T> - registers a concrete type T
• RegisterType(typeof(Type)) - non generic version
• Register(c => new Foo(c.Resolve<IBar>())) - register with lambda expression (only the new Foo() is inspected)
• More complex registrations, see this for example.

Convention-based registration

• RegisterAssemblyTypes(params Assembly[]) - the following parameters are currently supported:
• ThisAssembly property - only available when called within an Autofac Module
• Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
• typeof(Type).Assembly

The following filters can be applied in convention-based registration:

• As<T> - can be applied several times
• As(params[] Type) - currently supports typeof(Foo) expressions only
• AsClosedTypesOf
• AsImplementedInterfaces
• AssignableTo
• InNamespaceOf<T>
• InNamespace("Namespace")
