Protected override InitializeAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress progress) Public void RegisterModule() where TModule :, new() Private readonly ContainerBuilder containerBuilder Д¬ontainerBuilder = new ContainerBuilder() So I created a class that extends this and has Autofac integrated: public class AutofacEnabledAsyncPackage : AsyncPackage This is where the composition root can be implemented. This class has methods to create the tool window and to create objects to execute requests. This class implements the interface that must be used in every Visual Studio extension and also provides some base functionality to make developing extensions a little easier (altough it's still complicated as hell). When you create a VSIX project and add a Custom tool window, a new package class is added to the project that descends AsyncPackage. Finding the composition root and integrating Autofac to a Visual Studio extension But use this info only at your own risk :) I'm not a 100% on this, since I haven't found any supporting documentation.

After looking through decompiled assemblies and some trial and error, I've come up with a way that works and seems solid. The problem is that Visual Studio SDK is not the most popular framework out there, so it's not just there is no Autofac integration for this scenario, but there aren't even guidelines on how and where to implement the composition root. I've built the application first as a regular WPF app, using MVVM and dependency injection like you should and then turned the regular app to a Visual Studio extension.

I've been working on a Visual Studio extension that you'll hopefully all get to download soon :) The extension is basically a WPF app that is hosted inside Visual Studio as a command window. My choice of DI container is Autofac, and it contains integration components to support implementing the composition root for most frameworks, like ASP.NET or WCF. This is also the place where the required objects are resolved from the DI container. For a traditional ASP.NET application this is the ControllerFactory, for a WCF app it is the ServiceHostFactory.

This is basically the place where the whole object graph needed to execute a request is built up. When using dependency injection, there is a component in the system that's called the composition root. I'm not going into the details of why (I have already done that in those posts), let's just assume I'm right :) I have written a lot of posts that start the same way mostly because dependency injection is awesome.
