Subscribe to news items comments: Register the new comment notifications strategy

After you Subscribe to news items comments: Implement ICommentNotificationsStrategy interface, you need to register the strategy in Visual Studio.

The comment service resolves an ICommentNotificationStrategy implementation using the ObjectFactory class. You can replace the default implementation with your custom class by calling the ObjectFactory.Container.RegisterType on Initialized event of the Bootstrapper class.

Add the following code to the Global.asax file:

C#
using System;
using System.Web;
using Telerik.Microsoft.Practices.Unity;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Data;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Services.Comments.Notifications;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
   public class Global : HttpApplication
   {
       protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           Bootstrapper.Bootstrapped += Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped;
       }

       private void Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           ObjectFactory.Container.RegisterType<ICommentNotificationsStrategy, CustomCommentNotificationsStrategy>(new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager());
       }
   }
}

NOTE: If you do not have a Global.asax file added to your project, in the context menu of your project, click Add » New Item… » Visual C# » Web » Global Application Class

If you are using custom code in theGlobal.asax file and do not want to edit it, you can use the PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute class. For more information, see Tutorial: Subscribe to events using PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute class.
