Quick Start

In your Main program method, build up your container and register services using the Autofac extensions. This will attach service registrations from the container and the ServiceRuntime. Dispose of the container at app shutdown.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Threading;
using Autofac;
using Autofac.Integration.ServiceFabric;

namespace DemoService
{
  public static class Program
  {
      private static void Main()
      {
        try
        {
          // The ServiceManifest.xml file defines one or more service type names.
          // Registering a service maps a service type name to a .NET type.
          // When Service Fabric creates an instance of this service type,
          // an instance of the class is created in this host process.

          // Start with the trusty old container builder.
          var builder = new ContainerBuilder();

          // Register any regular dependencies.
          builder.RegisterModule(new LoggerModule(ServiceEventSource.Current.Message));

          // Register the Autofac magic for Service Fabric support.
          builder.RegisterServiceFabricSupport();

          // Register a stateless service...
          builder.RegisterStatelessService<DemoStatelessService>("DemoStatelessServiceType");

          // ...and/or register a stateful service.
          // builder.RegisterStatefulService<DemoStatefulService>("DemoStatefulServiceType");

          using (builder.Build())
          {
            ServiceEventSource.Current.ServiceTypeRegistered(
              Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id,
              typeof(DemoStatelessService).Name);

            // Prevents this host process from terminating so services keep running.
            Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
          }
      }
      catch (Exception e)
      {
        ServiceEventSource.Current.ServiceHostInitializationFailed(e.ToString());
        throw;
      }
    }
  }
}
