Auto wiring of Property does not work for me

Question

Hi All,
In my Asp.Net project I wanna use Property Auto-wiring, e.g. for my ILogger. Basically I placed it as Property into class where I need to use it. Like below.

public class UserControlBase : UserControl
{
    public ILogger CLogger { get; set; }
    ....
}


public partial class IPTracking : UserControlBase
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            string ip = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
            //it works
            ILogger logger = ObjectFactory.GetInstance<ILogger>();
            logger.LogInfo(string.Format("Client IP: {0}", ip));
            //it does not work
            CLogger.LogInfo(string.Format("Client IP: {0}", ip));
        }
    }
}

However when calling in inherited control, logger is null. I checked the container and it'a definitely set as above implementation shows. Below is setting which is called from Global.asax.

    public static void SetupForIoC()
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("SetupForIoC");
        ObjectFactory.Initialize(x =>
        {
            x.FillAllPropertiesOfType<ILogger>().Use<EntLibLogger>();
        });

        Debug.WriteLine(ObjectFactory.WhatDoIHave());
    }

Thanks for any advice, tip? X.

Update:
- I didnt mentioned before, but its Asp.Net webforms 3.5.
- I can't see what I am missing. I guess it could be because the injection gets involved later in process and didnt get set in requested class.

Answer 1

Hey,

Where do you actually set the CLogger property on the user control? Also, if you wanted to use one logger within the page, you could have the User cotnrol do:

public ILogger CLogger
{
  get
  {
    if (this.Page is PageBase)
       return ((PageBase)this.Page).Logger;
    else
       return null;
  }
}

Give something like this a shot.

FillAllPropertiesOfType<ILogger>().AlwaysUnique().Use(s => s.ParentType == null ? new Log4NetLogger(s.BuildStack.Current.ConcreteType) : new Log4NetLogger((s.ParentType)));

Check out another StackOverflow answer I have which discusses using StructureMap to auto wire loggers.
