Register Container Itself Using Autofac

Question

I was wondering is there\'s any side effect to registering the container within itself

IContainer container;
ContainerBuilder builder = new ContainerBuilder         


        

Answer 1

You can use this extension method:

public static void RegisterSelf(this ContainerBuilder builder)
{
    IContainer container = null;
    builder.Register(c => container).AsSelf().SingleInstance();
    builder.RegisterBuildCallback(c => container = c);
}

use it like this: builder.RegisterSelf();
