What is this?

Register ADO.NET repositories and options in the ASP.NET Core container with correct lifetimes.

Why should you care?

ShopNest must not new repositories inside controllers.

See it live — copy this example

Use a .NET console or API project with SQL Server LocalDB. Run dotnet run after pasting.

builder.Services.AddScoped<IOrderRepository, OrderRepository>();
builder.Services.Configure<ShopNestDbOptions>(
    builder.Configuration.GetSection("ShopNestDb"));

What happened?

  • Scoped for repos using connections per request.
  • Singleton only for thread-safe pure services — never for open connections.

Practice next

  1. AddScoped repo.
  2. Inject into endpoint.
  3. Validate options on start.
  4. Try build and resolve once.
  5. Add IPaymentRepository.

Remember

Scoped repos. Configure options. Ctor injection.

ShopNest DI registrations

Program.cs wires ADO.NET repos.

Outcome: Consistent lifetimes under load.
