Using IoC with WPF + Prism in MVVM

Nov 30 2016 4:13 PM

I am working on an application that uses Prism's Unity for resolving dependency injection. But the problem is views and view models are arranges in their folders as: enter image description here

But the problem is AutoWire method is working. So, I have to manually inject objects to resolve data context. my bootstrapper.cs class looks like this:

 public class Bootstrapper : UnityBootstrapper
 { 
      protected override DependencyObject CreateShell() 
      {
          return this.Container.Resolve<Views.MainWindow>();
      }
      protected override void InitializeShell()
      {
          Application.Current.MainWindow.Show();
      }
      protected override void ConfigureContainer() 
      {
          base.ConfigureContainer(); 
         /*RegisterTypeIfMissing(typeof(IUnitOfWork),typeof(UnityServiceLocatorAdapter), true);     
          RegisterTypeIfMissing(typeof(IDbFactory), typeof(UnityServiceLocatorAdapter), true);       
          RegisterTypeIfMissing(typeof(IBlockRepository),typeof(UnityServiceLocatorAdapter), true);     
     RegisterTypeIfMissing(typeof(IBlockService), typeof(UnityServiceLocatorAdapter), true);

 public static class UnityExtentions
 {
 public static void RegisterTypeForNavigation<T>(this IUnityContainer unityContainer, string name)
 {
         unityContainer.RegisterType(typeof(object), typeof(T), name);
 }
 }

This project also uses repository and unit of work pattern but that's on a different layer but to create an object of any ViewModel I have to manually inject all those objects.

Is there any way to do this via IoC within Prism Unity.
