WebApi + Simple Injector + OWIN

Question

I am trying to use SimpleInjector with OWIN in a WebAPI project. However, the following line in ConfigureAuth fails

app.CreatePerOwinContext(co         


        

Answer 1

I used the following code to solve this issue.

public static void UseOwinContextInjector(this IAppBuilder app, Container container)
{
// Create an OWIN middleware to create an execution context scope
app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
     using (var scope = container.BeginExecutionContextScope())
     {
         await next.Invoke();
     }
});
}

and then called app.UseOwinContextInjector(container); right after registering the dependancies.
