How to resolve a named instance from a static class?

Question

Does anyone have any idea about what i doing wrong?

I have a such static class:

public static class ApplicationContainer
{
    private static ContainerBuilder builder = null;
    private static IContainer container = null;

    public static void Create()
    {
        builder = new ContainerBuilder();

        builder.RegisterInstance(new Repository<Log>(RepositoryType.Main))
            .As<IRepository<Log>>().SingleInstance()
            .Named("Log", typeof(Repository<Log>));

        container = builder.Build();
    }     

    public static IContainer Container()
    {
        if (container != null) return container;
        throw new Exception("Container is not ready.");
    }
}

In Global.asax.cs of my MVC application i have:

    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

        ApplicationContainer.Create(); 

        RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    }

And now about problem: how can i to resolve named instance from a container?

public class DefaultLogger : ILogger
{
    ApplicationContainer.Container().Resolve("Log", typeof(Repository<Log>);// <--- does not work
}

But when ApplicationContainer class is not static, resolving from container works very good. I use autofac 2.2.4.

I believe you cannot compile this code since you are missing a closing ')' for your .Resolve(...) call.

That said, have you looked at the Autofac ASP.Net integration modules?
