How configure LightInject in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

I use SimpleInjector in mvc with this code

public static class SimpleInjectorInitializer
{
    public static void Initialize()
    {
        var container = new Container();
        InitializeContainer(container);
        container.RegisterMvcControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
        container.Verify();
        DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new SimpleInjectorDependencyResolver(container));
    }

    private static void InitializeContainer(Container container)
    {
        container.Register<IPersonRepository, PersonEntityRepository>();
    }
}

but now I want to test LightInject Ioc in my mvc application but How ?

I wrote this code

[assembly: WebActivator.PostApplicationStartMethod(typeof(LightInjectInitializer), "InitializeLI")]

public static class LightInjectInitializer
{
    public static void InitializeLI()
    {
        var container = new ServiceContainer();            
        InitializeContainer(container);
        container.RegisterControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
        container.EnableMvc();
    }

    private static void InitializeContainer(ServiceContainer container)
    {
        container.Register(typeof(PersonEntityRepository), typeof(IPersonRepository), new PerScopeLifetime());

    }
}

enter image description here

but show me this error

No parameterless constructor defined for this object.

Can anyone help me for writing equivalent code that working in MVC ?

Any particular reason you are switching to Light Inject? Any feature in particular that you are missing in Simple Injector? — Steven, Aug 18 '14 at 19:17
please see benchmark http://www.palmmedia.de/blog/2011/8/30/ioc-container-benchmark-performance-comparison — Hamed F, Aug 19 '14 at 10:57
I'm familiar with that benchmark. Is your only reason one of performance? Do note that LightInject is just marginally faster than Simple Injector. You will see no measurable performance difference in any real-life application. — Steven, Aug 19 '14 at 11:08
I agree with what you said - But be happy if I learn how to work with the library - Can you resolve my problem or not ? — Hamed F, Aug 19 '14 at 14:10
No, I can not. I built Simple Injector and can tell you anything about that. I have no experience with LightInject. — Steven, Aug 19 '14 at 14:11

I am the author of LightInject and would like to help you out.

This static initialize method? Where is it called from. The reason that you get this error is probably because the initialize code did not execute.

If you would like further assistance, it would be valuable to see what you have in global.asax.cs.

This page also contains information about how to set this up.

[assembly: WebActivator.PostApplicationStartMethod(typeof(LightInjectInitializer), "InitializeLI")] - I added this attribute and used onion architecture – Hamed F Aug 19 '14 at 17:37
Can you verify that the method is executed by setting a breakpoint? – seesharper Aug 20 '14 at 08:14
yes I can, see my post again , If you want, I can upload my sample – Hamed F Aug 20 '14 at 18:10
It would be great if you could upload the project somewhere. – seesharper Aug 26 '14 at 12:40
That link target (#mvc) is no longer valid. It may have moved to: http://www.lightinject.net/mvc/ though there is not a lot of information there either. – QueueHammer Sep 20 '16 at 20:35

Please change the controller registration line to:

container.RegisterControllers(typeof(MVCApplicationNamespace.Controllers.HomeController).Assembly);
