ILifetimeScope Interface

An ILifetimeScope tracks the instantiation of component instances. It defines a boundary in which instances are shared and configured. Disposing an ILifetimeScope will dispose the components that were resolved through it.

Namespace:  Autofac
Assembly:  Autofac (in Autofac.dll) Version: 6.0.0+39696a967e8826f7f1ebc8c1ff4523c9dd75abe0
Syntax
Copy
public interface ILifetimeScope : IComponentContext, 
	IDisposable, IAsyncDisposable

The ILifetimeScope type exposes the following members.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyComponentRegistry
Gets the associated services with the components that provide them.
(Inherited from IComponentContext.)
Public propertyDisposer
Gets the disposer associated with this ILifetimeScope. Component instances can be associated with it manually if required.
Public propertyTag
Gets the tag applied to the ILifetimeScope.

Remarks
All long-running applications should resolve components via an ILifetimeScope. Choosing the duration of the lifetime is application- specific. The standard Autofac WCF and ASP.NET/MVC integrations are already configured to create and release ILifetimeScopes as appropriate. For example, the ASP.NET integration will create and release an ILifetimeScope per HTTP request. Most ILifetimeScope functionality is provided by extension methods on the inherited IComponentContext interface.
Examples
Copy
// See IContainer for definition of the container variable
using (var requestScope = container.BeginLifetimeScope())
{
    // Note that handler is resolved from requestScope, not
    // from the container:

    var handler = requestScope.Resolve<IRequestHandler>();
    handler.Handle(request);

    // When requestScope is disposed, all resources used in processing
    // the request will be released.
}
