Question

im trying to get ms unity to inject an object into a constructor and am having problems due to the class having multiple constructors and the same number of parameters. I know you can annotate the constructor but i dont want to do that. How can i get unity to use the correct constructor

my constructors are like so :-

  public JobsHandler(ICentralRepositoryContainer context)
  public JobsHandler(ICentralRepositoryLifeTimehelper centralRepositoryLifeTimehelper)

and i was using some code i found :-

  uContainer.RegisterType<ICentralRepositoryContainer, Entities>().Configure<InjectedMembers>().
            ConfigureInjectionFor<JobsHandler>(new InjectionConstructor());

but in getting a

The type CentralRepository.BusinessLogic.JobsHandler does not have a
constructor that takes the parameters ()

Im guess this is because i havent specified the parameters in the injectionconstructor object. Am i doing this correctly?

Answer 1

I think you will want to resolve the ICentralRepositoryContainer and use it in the InjectionConstructor

uContainer.RegisterType<ICentralRepositoryContainer, Entities>().Configure<InjectedMembers>().ConfigureInjectionFor<JobsHandler>(
  new InjectionConstructor(new ResolvedParameter(typeof(ICentralRepositoryContainer)));

Or register the jobs handler while specifying the constructor.

uContainer.RegisterType<ICentralRepositoryContainer, Entities>();
uContainer.RegisterType<JobsHandler>(new InjectionConstructor(new ResolvedParameter(typeof(ICentralRepositoryContainer))));

See this link for a more complete example of the above:
