How to use Simple injector, Repository and Context - code first

Viewed 10369

I'm trying to use Simple Injector to create my repository and use it in the Business logic layer ( also i want to use PerWebRequest method ) .

In the DAL layer i have :

public interface IRepository<T> where T : class
{
    void Add(T entity);
    void Delete(T entity);
    void Delete(int id);
    void Update(T entity);
    T GetById(int Id);
    IQueryable<T> All();
    IEnumerable<T> Find(Func<T, bool> predicate);
}

and :

public class EFRepository<T> : IRepository<T>, IDisposable where T : class
{
    #region Members
    protected DbContext Context { get; set; }
    protected DbSet<T> DbSet { get; set; }
    #endregion

    #region Constructors

    public EFRepository(DbContext dbContext)
    {
        if (dbContext == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("dbContext");
        Context = dbContext;
        DbSet = Context.Set<T>();
    }

and my context :

public class PASContext : DbContext, IDbContext
{
    public DbSet<Product> Products { get; set; }
    public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }

    public PASContext()
        : base("PostAndSell")
    { }
}

As you can see EFRepository has only one constructor that takes one argument - this is because i want to use Simple Injector to create an instance of the context and pass it to the repository while it is created .

In the BLL i have a class ProductBLL and i want to get all products in that class (with some GetAll method) from the database and pass it, lets say to HomeController .

I really need someone to talk me through this .

I started by installing the right packages from the nuger (Simple Injector and Simple Injector ASP.NET Integration)

also in my global.asax.cs file, under Application_Start() function I`ve added :

var container = new SimpleInjector.Container();

container.RegisterPerWebRequest<IRepository<Product>, EFRepository<Product>>();

but where do i create the Context instance ? and how can i access it in the business layer ?
