Question

I’m a newbie to StructureMap, and I’ve been trying to fix that error for some time now.
Just can’t figure out how to fix it and where am I doing wrong.
I even set up a template MVC4 site, with nothing in it and still getting that error.

Can someone please help me out ?

public static class IoC {
    public static IContainer Initialize() {
        ObjectFactory.Initialize(x =>
                    {
                        x.Scan(scan =>
                                {
                                    scan.TheCallingAssembly();
                                    scan.WithDefaultConventions();
                                });

                        x.For<IDbSession>().Use(() => MvcApplication.DbSession);
                        x.For<IDbService>().Use<DbService>();
                    });
        return ObjectFactory.Container;
    }
}

You must configure the dependency resolver to handle parameters in a Controller’s constructor. You can find out here how: http://ardalis.com/How-Do-I-Use-StructureMap-with-ASP.NET-MVC-3
