Question

Asp.Net mvc with ServiceSTack Mvc powerpack

There is a row in AppHost:

ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(new FunqControllerFactory(container));

So this is my code

public class BaseController<T>:Controller
{
   protected IRepository<T> Repository {get;set;}

   public ActionResult Detail(T t){}
}

public class CarController:BaseController<Car>
{
}

I will use this code in App.Host

container.Register<IRepository<Car>>(c => new CarRepository());

How can I AutoWire Repository ?

Answer 1

Only public properties or constructors get injected, so try make Repository public with:

public class BaseController<T>:Controller
{
   public IRepository<T> Repository {get;set;}

   public ActionResult Detail(T t){}
}

public class CarController:BaseController<Car> {}

Also if you are using the MVC PowerPack you may want to inherit from the ServiceStackController instead which gives you a lot of benefits, like using ServiceStack’s JSON serialization, have access to ServiceStack’s shared Cache and Session providers as well as be able to share ServiceStack Authentication/Authorization features on both MVC Controllers and ServiceStack web services (if you’re using any).
