This module requires that the HttpApplication implements IContainerProviderAccessor

Question

Hi I want to use Autofac in my asp.net mvc appliation and here is the code I have in global.asxc file :

 protected void Application_Start()
    {
        ....

        var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
        builder.RegisterControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

        IContainer container = builder.Build();

        DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(container));

    }

but when I run the project, I see this error :

This module requires that the HttpApplication (Global Application Class) implements IContainerProviderAccessor

what is wrong ?

Answer 1

I had the same problem as the OP, but my solution was different.

From here:

Remove Old Items

• Remove IContainerProviderAccessor interface from Global.asax. This implementation is no longer used by ASP.NET MVC integration.
• Remove references to the AutofacControllerFactory. The new MVC integration uses the MVC DependencyResolver class for integration instead.
• Remove ASP.NET Autofac HTTP module configurations. Previously there were some Autofac ContainerDisposal and PropertyInjection modules required in your web.config. These should be removed.
