Register factory class in Autofac using web.config

Question

I was looking for a way to register a factory class in autofac using XmlConfiguration , but the documentation seems a bit subtle.

What I want to do is do the following in my configuration:

builder.Register(c => MyFactory.GetMyObject()).As<IMyObject>();

Is there a good way to do this?

Answer 1

The way to do this is to encapsulate your registration into an Autofac module, which can be registered from XML. (The modules are described here: http://code.google.com/p/autofac/wiki/StructuringWithModules )

Your module will look something like this:

public class MyModule : Module
{
  protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder)
  {
    builder.Register(c => MyFactory.GetMyObject()).As<IMyObject>();
  }
}

And the XML for registering it:

<module type="MyModule" />
