Configuring Your Code to use Caliburn.Micro.Autofac

Assuming you just added Caliburn.Micro using nuget to your application, you should have a view, viewmodel, and IShell interface. If you followed the completion instructions, you will have modified the App.xaml file to reference the AppBootstrapper. If you haven’t done that, do it. Then open the AppBootstrapper.cs file. Replace the Caliburn.Micro AppBootstrapper with the following implementation.

 1 public class AppBootstrapper : AutofacBootstrapper<ShellViewModel>
 2 {
 3   protected override void ConfigureBootstrapper()
 4   {  //  you must call the base version first!
 5     base.ConfigureBootstrapper();
 6 
 7     //  override namespace naming convention
 8     EnforceNamespaceConvention = false;
 9     //  change our view model base type
10     ViewModelBaseType = typeof(IShell);
11   }
12 }

Then compile and run.
