How can we get the site name from the manage website (admin tab) by using the startup.cs file

            var name = app.ApplicationServices.GetService<ISiteDefinitionRepository>().List().First().Name;

this probably works - untested by me

Thanks for the response, "ApplicationServices" giving an error

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
var name=app.ApplicationServices.GetService
Quan Mai - Sep 07, 2022 12:12
which is the error?
Kumar - Sep 07, 2022 12:20
'IAppBuilder' does not contain a definition for 'ApplicationServices' and no accessible extension method 'ApplicationServices' accepting a first argument of type 'IAppBuilder' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

It should be IApplicationBuilder

        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
        {

            //other code 

            var name = app.ApplicationServices.GetService<ISiteDefinitionRepository>().List().First().Name;
        }

This one also gives errors.
Error: The non-generic method 'IServiceProvider.GetService(Type)' cannot be used with type arguments

Have you imported the namespace Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection?

I think the correct code would be:

var name = app.ApplicationServices.GetInstance<ISiteDefinitionRepository>().List().First().Name;

I fail to spot the difference between this and the code I posted
Karol Berezicki - Sep 28, 2022 10:49
@Quan Sorry, it's my bad pasting - I've meant to use code with `GetInstance` - I've updated the answer.
However, it's basically the same as `GetRequiredService` under the hood, which doesn't make difference to your answer.

Note that this will obviously just give you the first website, which is necessarily not what you want. You will need an http context to be able to resolve a website that is actually matching the current request, and this can not be done during configuration.

Just to echo Johan here, startup.cs is the configuration of the site, not the routing and delivery of a site's content.

What problem are you trying to solve by getting a site name during the startup.cs?
