Structuremap does not work on MVC4 - asp.net-mvc

Question

I've used StructureMap in MVC2/3 many times without any concern, but I guess handling IoC is different in MVC4.
When i used StructureMap for handling IoC in MVC4 I get the following exception.:
No parameterless constructor defined for this object
Why?
I have not found any correct result in google except this: IoC Not Working In MVC4
These is my IoC classes:
public static class IoC {
public static IContainer Initialize() {
ObjectFactory.Initialize(x =>
{
x.Scan(scan =>
{
//scan.Assembly("DLL.Core");
scan.Assembly("DLL.CMS");
scan.TheCallingAssembly();
scan.WithDefaultConventions();
});
x.For<IDbContext>().Use<ModelEntities>();
x.For(typeof(IRepository<>)).Use(typeof(Repository<>));
x.For<IHttpControllerActivator>();
x.For<IController>();
});
return ObjectFactory.Container;
}
And SmDependencyResolver is:
public class SmDependencyResolver : IDependencyResolver
{
private readonly IContainer _container;
public SmDependencyResolver(IContainer container)
{
_container = container;
}
public object GetService(Type serviceType)
{
if (serviceType == null) return null;
try
{
return serviceType.IsAbstract || serviceType.IsInterface
? _container.TryGetInstance(serviceType)
: _container.GetInstance(serviceType);
}
catch
{
return null;
}
}
public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type serviceType)
{
return _container.GetAllInstances(serviceType).Cast<object>();
}
}
And my error is:
No parameterless constructor defined for this object.

Thanks for correct answers.

Answer 1

oops.I found an emergency solution :) Try to implement a class from IControllerActivator
public class StructureMapControllerActivator : IControllerActivator
{
private IContainer _container;
public StructureMapControllerActivator(IContainer container)
{
_container = container;
}
public IController Create(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
return _container.GetInstance(controllerType) as IController;
}
}
and then register it to the IoC class:
x.For<IControllerActivator>().Use<StructureMapControllerActivator>();
and then enjoy it.
Good luck

If you remove any old configuration for structuremap and install structurmap.mvc4 from nuget then configure your IoC container, you don't have any problems.

Answer 3

try adding this class as your ControllerFactory, I've actually seen the error above in MVC3 and this usually fixed it for me
public class StructureMapControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
try
{
return (controllerType == null)
? base.GetControllerInstance(requestContext, controllerType)
: ObjectFactory.GetInstance(controllerType) as IController;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
}
}

Answer 4

Using StructureMap.MVC5.Update I had to do this or else the nested IContainer was already disposed (weird) :
public class StructureMapControllerActivator : IControllerActivator
{
public IController Create(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
return StructuremapMvc.StructureMapDependencyScope.GetInstance(controllerType) as IController;
}
}
