using (var scope = Container.BeginLifetimeScope(“Commit”)) { …. }

What I’ve done since this post was to expose the container property as public, and then in the GetInstance i added:

if (serviceType == this.GetType()) return this

That allows me to use IoC.Get().Container.BeginLifetimeScope

It’s the only thing i’ve come up with so far.

So i've since changed this. the first thing in the TYpedBootStrapper.GetInstance is now:

if (serviceType == typeof(ILifetimeScope)) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(key)) return Container.BeginLifetimeScope(); return Container.BeginLifetimeScope(key);

        }

This then allows me to simply use:

IoC.Get<ILifetimeScope>("key")

to get my scopes.
