Syntax

public class InitializationEngine : IInitializationEngine

Constructors

InitializationEngine()

Declaration

public InitializationEngine()

InitializationEngine(IEnumerable<IInitializableModule>, HostType)

Constructor used for testing and outside-the-web purposes.

Declaration

public InitializationEngine(IEnumerable<IInitializableModule> modules, HostType hostType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<IInitializableModule>	modules	The list of modules to initialize using this engine.
HostType	hostType	The type of host this engine initializes.

InitializationEngine(IEnumerable<IInitializableModule>, HostType, IEnumerable<Assembly>)

Constructor used for testing and outside-the-web purposes.

Declaration

public InitializationEngine(IEnumerable<IInitializableModule> modules, HostType hostType, IEnumerable<Assembly> assemblies)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<IInitializableModule>	modules	The list of modules to initialize using this engine.
HostType	hostType	The type of host this engine initializes.
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Reflection.Assembly>	assemblies	A list of assemblies that can be scanned as part of initialization

Properties

Assemblies

A list of assemblies that should participate in the initialization

Declaration

public IEnumerable<Assembly> Assemblies { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Reflection.Assembly>

Remarks

This list will be the base for different scanning operations done within the initialization such as plug-in systems and services configured using ServiceConfigurationAttribute, it is also used if ScanAssemblies() is called to automatically populate the list of assemblies.

By default when EPiServer initializes this will be set to a list of allowed assemblies configured in Assemblies

HostType

The HostType of the current application

Declaration

public HostType HostType { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
HostType

InitializationState

Gets or sets the state of the initialization.

Declaration

public InitializationState InitializationState { get; protected set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
InitializationState	The state of the initialization.

Locate

Gets the object used to resolve services part of the public API.

Declaration

public ServiceLocationHelper Locate { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ServiceLocationHelper

Modules

The list of modules that should be initialized

Declaration

public IEnumerable<IInitializableModule> Modules { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<IInitializableModule>

Remarks

You can automatically populate this list by calling ScanAssemblies()

Methods

Configure()

Calls all IConfigurableModule instances.

Declaration

public void Configure()

ConfigureContainer(HostType)

Does a first pass to configure the IoC container so services are configured before we initialize

Declaration

protected void ConfigureContainer(HostType hostType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
HostType	hostType	Type of the host.

GetDependencySortedModules()

Gets the list of initialization modules sorted by dependencies.

Declaration

public IList<IInitializableModule> GetDependencySortedModules()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IList<IInitializableModule>	A list of IInitializableModule.

Initialize()

Initializes all initializable modules.

Declaration

public void Initialize()

Initialize(HostType)

Initializes all initializable modules.

Declaration

[Obsolete("Assign host type via constructor")]
public void Initialize(HostType hostType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
HostType	hostType

InitializeModules()

Initializes the modules.

Declaration

protected void InitializeModules()

IsInitialized(IInitializableModule)

Determines whether the specified module is initialized.

Declaration

public bool IsInitialized(IInitializableModule module)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IInitializableModule	module	The module.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	`true` if the specified module is initialized; otherwise, `false`.

OnInitComplete()

Called when initialization is complete to raise the InitComplete event.

Declaration

public void OnInitComplete()

Remarks

The invocation of the InitComplete event is a bit special. In order to support the same kind of "retry on exception" semantics as for the Initialize(InitializationEngine) method, we simply remove the delegate from the event handler once it has executed successfully (i.e. without throwing an exception).
