How to set up injection for HttpContextBase in MVC project

[Cory Neale]

I have an MVC project and i'm trying to set up StructureMap so I can inject the HttpContext into the controller, but I cannot work out how to do this.

I've done plenty of searching, and I keep coming across pages and forum posts telling me to do something like this:

ForRequestedType<HttpContextWrapper>().TheDefaultIs(new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current));

The problem I'm having with that is that I can't find a ForRequestedType method anywhere.  The posts I'm finding appear to be a few years old, so i'm guessing they are from an older version of StructureMap.

I have installed StructureMap using the structuremap.mvc5 nuget package, which installed v3.1.1.0 of StructureMap.

Can anyone advise me on how to correctly map HttpContext?

Thanks,

Cory.

That wouldn't have worked out very well anyway because you need to resolve it lazily to be getting the current HttpContext. With SM 3/4 syntax, that would be:

For< HttpContextWrapper>(). Use(() => new HttpContextWrapper( HttpContext.Current));

The latest docs are at http://structuremap.github.io.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks, I've managed to get it all working now.

I had actually come up with the correct code while I was tinkering away trying to get it to work last night.  The reason I couldn't get it to work was that I was calling container.AssertConfigurationIsValid() after creating the container.

Anyway, thanks again.  I appreciate the help.

Cory.
