Resolving from ServiceStack's IoC container which depends on another registered element

Question

I have a class which should have an instance of a Service (to access the database and other services):

public class MyFoo : IFoo
{
    public Service Service { get; set; }

    public MyFoo (Service service)
    {
        Service = service;
    }
}

I want to register this class with ServiceStack's IoC container. Currently, I am doing it like this

container.Register<IFoo> (c => new MyFoo (c.TryResolve<MyService> ()));

This does work fine, but it strikes me as pretty ugly to resolve an element in a container while registering another one. Is there a more elegant way to accomplish this?

Answer 1

You can also Register the dependency using one of the AutoWired APIs, e.g:

container.RegisterAutoWiredAs<MyFoo,IFoo>()

Also ServiceStack will inject each public property with any registered dependencies so you don't need your constructor, e.g:

public class MyFoo : IFoo
{
    public Service Service { get; set; }
}
