Since web api is now part of mvc, I assume you can use

"System.Web.Mvc.ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory "

for api controller as well.

An error occurred when trying to create a controller of type '...AccountsController'. Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor.

I used the last example you provided for Unity above, changing the lines to:

string name = AttributedModelServices.GetContractName(t);

return container.GetExportedValueOrDefault<object>(name);

public object GetService(Type serviceType)

{

if (!Container.IsRegistered(serviceType))

{

if (serviceType.IsAbstract || serviceType.IsInterface)

{

return null;

}

}

return Container.Resolve(serviceType);

}

Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder2.TransientLifetimePolicy' to type 'Microsoft.Practices.Unity.LifetimeManager'.

alot of the time. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a reason that IDependencyResolver implements IDependencyScope? When do GetService/GetServices get called directly from IDependencyResolver without going through BeginScope first?

DependencyResolver.SetResolver(config.DependencyResolver);

I then made the IOCContainer class implement the IServiceLocator, passing the calls from the IDependencyScope "GetService" of the to the "GetInstance" methods of the IServiceLocator. Feasible for WebAPI+MVC projects?

System.InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

How to manage with that case?

Something like

public class ProductsController : ApiController

{

private readonly IProductRepository repository;

public ProductsController()

{

if (repository == null)

{

this.repository = factory.GetInstance("ProductsController");

}

}
