AI agents: use the documentation index at llms.txt to locate machine-readable pages. This section is indexed by https://docs.particular.net/nservicebus/llms.txt. The markdown version of this page is served as plain text. An MCP server at /mcp serves the same content via the search_docs and read_doc tools; it is read-only and needs no credentials. Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending .md to the page URL. Directory URLs use index.md. They are served as text/plain because some retrieval backends reject text/markdown.

Standard support for version 7.x of NServiceBus has expired. For more information see our Support Policy.

NServiceBus can be configured to use Autofac for dependency injection.

Default usage

endpointConfiguration.UseContainer<AutofacBuilder>();

Using an existing container

var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
builder.RegisterInstance(new MyService());
var container = builder.Build();
endpointConfiguration.UseContainer<AutofacBuilder>(
    customizations: customizations =>
    {
        customizations.ExistingLifetimeScope(container);
    });

DependencyLifecycle mapping

DependencyLifecycle maps to Autofac instance scopes as follows:

DependencyLifecycleAutofac instance scope
InstancePerCallInstance Per Dependency
InstancePerUnitOfWorkInstance Per Lifetime Scope
SingleInstanceSingle Instance

Property Injection

This dependency injection container adapter automatically enables property injection for known types. Use the Func overload of .ConfigureComponent to get full control over the injected properties if needed.
