The type String cannot be constructed

Question

I\'m using Web.api and Unity and I am getting the following error when trying to open the default \"help\" area:

[InvalidOperationException: The type String cann         


        

Answer 1

I think a better way is to add InjectionConstructor attribute to the default constructor. This attribute forces unity to use the decorated constructor.

Example:

public class HelpController : Controller
{
    private const string ErrorViewName = "Error";

    [InjectionConstructor]
    public HelpController()
        : this(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration)
    {
    }
