How To Register an Asynchronous Type

1. Make sure the type either derives from an AsyncInit base class or implements an AsyncInit interface:

   C#

   Copy

   using Ditto.AsyncInit;
   
   class UniversalAnswerService : CancelableAsyncInitBase<UniversalAnswerService>
   {
       private UniversalAnswerService()
           : base(null)
       {
       }
   
       protected override async Task InitAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
       {
           await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromDays(7500000 * 365.25), cancellationToken);
           Answer = 42;
       }
   
       public int Answer { get; private set; }
   }

2. Import the Unity Container Async Extensions namespace:

   C#

   Copy

   using Ditto.AsyncInit.Unity;

3. Register the type for asynchronous resolution:

   C#

   Copy

   container.RegisterAsyncType<UniversalAnswerService>();

The registered type may now be resolved asynchronously.

Unity Container Async Extensions provide support for advanced registration scenarios through overloads of RegisterAsyncType.
