How do you inject with parameters using AutoFac?

Question

I'm trying to figure out the syntax to inject OrmLiteConnectionFactory using AutoFac. This is a working example using Funq, another DI framework.

container.Register<IDbConnectionFactory>(c => 
OrmLiteConnectionFactory(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AppDb"].
    ConnectionString, SqlServerDialect.Provider);

Try this:

container.Register(c => 
        new OrmLiteConnectionFactory(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AppDb"].ConnectionString,
                SqlServerDialect.Provider)).As<IDbConnectionFactory>();

Most of this syntax works except for the last part: .As() shows this error in intellisense: Error 14 Using the generic method 'Autofac.RegistrationExtensions.As(Autofac.Builder.IRegistrationBuilder, System.Func>)' requires 3 type arguments – Shane May 11 '13 at 18:30
@Shane - you get the error due to a missing parenthesis. I have fixed Memoizers sample. – Peter Lillevold May 11 '13 at 22:24
