Start using Redis with ASP.NET

Question

How do I start using Redis database with ASP.NET?

What I should install and what I should download?

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 with C#.

FYI, both the:

• RedisStackOverflow with C# Source Code and
• RedisAdminUI with C# Source Code

are open source ASP.NET web applications that only use the ServiceStack.Redis C# client.

Here is an example of how you would use an Inversion of control (IoC) container to register a Redis client connection pool and its accompanying IRepository with an IoC:

//Register any dependencies you want injected into your services container.Register<IRedisClientsManager>(c => new PooledRedisClientManager()); container.Register<IRepository>(c => new Repository(c.Resolve<IRedisClientsManager>())); 

Note: if you're just starting out with the client, I recommend you go through the C# Client Wiki, Especially the Designing a Simple Blog application with Redis tutorial*.
