Constructor injection with Parameter

Question

hi i'm trying to register repository class which having IDbConnection as constructor parameter.

public class Repository<TEntity> : IRepositoryAsync<TEntity> where TEntity : class
{
    public Repository(IDbConnection connection)
    {
        Connection = connection;
    }

    public IDbConnection Connection { get; }
}

i registered something like this

var container = new Container();
container.Options.DefaultScopedLifestyle = new WcfOperationLifestyle();
container.Register(typeof(IRepositoryAsync<>), typeof(Repository<>));
container.Register(typeof(IDbConnection), typeof(Repository<User>));
    container.Register<IAuthService, AuthService>();
container.Verify();

what was the wrong on my code?

Updated im getting exception like below

The constructor of type Repository contains the parameter with name 'connection' and type IDbConnection that is not registered. Please ensure IDbConnection is registered, or change the constructor of Repository.

Update 2

Answer 1

Yet another way, to avoid adding own interface and implementation.
Using this override for Register method:
Container.Register<TService>(Func<TService> instanceCreator, Lifestyle lifestyle)

Something like this:

container.Register<IDbConnection>(() =>{ 
    var con = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["TrackerConnection"]; 
    if (con == null) 
        throw new Exception("Failed to find connection"); 

    var _provider = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(con.ProviderName); 

    var connection = _provider.CreateConnection(); 
    if (connection == null) 
        throw new Exception($"Failed to create a connection using the connection string named '{con.ProviderName}' in app.config or web.config."); 

    connection.ConnectionString = con.ConnectionString; 
    return connection; 
});
