I'm new to learning ASP.NET Core MVC C#. I tried learning from a Udemy course, but they were using an old version believe it was 2.0. But I'm trying to build a note taking web application. I keep receiving an Unhandled exception occurred while processing the request. Followed by InvalidOperationException: Unable to resolve service for type 'Notely_Application.Repository.INoteRepository' while attempting to activate 'Notely_Application.Controllers.HomeController'.

Here is the source code for both:

Notely_Application.Repository.INoteRepository

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Notely_Application.Models;

namespace Notely_Application.Repository
{
    public interface INoteRepository
    {
        NotesModel FindNoteById(Guid id);
        IEnumerable<NotesModel> GetAllNotes();
        void SaveNote(NotesModel notesModel);
        void DeleteNote(NotesModel notesModel);
    }
}

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

CodePudding user response：

You need an implementation of INoteRepository, do you have that? And you have to add the dependency injection mapping in Startup.cs in the ConfigureServices() method, a line like similar

services.AddTransient<INoteRepository, ClassThatImplementsINoteRepository>();

CodePudding user response：

First of all I suggest you to use

try
{
    // my code here
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // my error here -> ex       
}

and then read exactly what error is inside ex
