Fields

NoValue

This value represents Invalid Value. Lifetime manager must return this unless value is set with a valid object. Null is a value and is not equal to NoValue

public static readonly object NoValue

Field Value

object

Properties

Get

public virtual Func<ILifetimeContainer, object> Get { get; protected set; }

Property Value

Func<ILifetimeContainer, object>

InUse

A bool indicating if this manager is being used in one of the registrations.

public virtual bool InUse { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

True is this instance already in use, False otherwise.

Remarks

The Unity container requires that each registration used its own, unique lifetime manager. This property is being used to track that condition.

Set

public virtual Action<object, ILifetimeContainer> Set { get; protected set; }

Property Value

Action<object, ILifetimeContainer>

TryGet

public virtual Func<ILifetimeContainer, object> TryGet { get; protected set; }

Property Value

Func<ILifetimeContainer, object>
