Where should I register-resolve my types in a Console Application with Unity Container?

Question

I am a beginner to Unity DI Container.

I want to use it with a simple Console app.

I will use 'Code as Configuration'

Where should I call my method that Registers and Resolves my abstracts? From the Main method itself or there is a better, more elegant way?

Answer 1

Have a look at the concept of Composition Roots. For a console app the Main() method is exactly the right place.

For Unity you can bundle your configuration in a class that derives from UnityContainerExtension and place the registration code inside the Initialize() method.

Then add your extension to the container.
