I’m trying to resolve the AccountController in my application, but it seems that I have a lifetime scoping issue. 

builder.Register(c => new MyDataContext(connectionString)).As<IDatabase>().HttpRequestScoped();
builder.Register(c => new UnitOfWork(c.Resolve<IDatabase>())).As<IUnitOfWork>().HttpRequestScoped();
builder.Register(c => new AccountService(c.Resolve<IDatabase>())).As<IAccountService>().InstancePerLifetimeScope();
builder.Register(c => new AccountController(c.Resolve<IAccountService>())).InstancePerDependency();

I need MyDataContext and UnitOfWork to be scoped at the HttpRequestLevel.
When I try to resolve the AccountController, I get the following error:

No scope matching the expression ‘value(Autofac.Builder.RegistrationBuilder`3+<>c__DisplayClass0[…]).lifetimeScopeTag.Equals(scope.Tag)’ is visible from the scope in which the instance was requested.

Do I have my dependency lifetimes set up incorrectly?

    Your setup looks fine – I’d guess that the problem is that you’re trying to resolve AccountController (manually?) from IContainerProvider.ApplicationContainer.

    You need to resolve dependencies in a web app from IContainerProvider.RequestLifetime (RequestContainer in 1.x).

    Have you tried the Autofac ASP.NET MVC integration? It would take care of this for you.
