I'm trying to use different layouts per tenant. The layouts are stored in database, but since layouts are set in _Viewstart.cshtml I am having trouble. How can I access an appservice from _Viewstart.cshtml?
If I don't set the layout in _viewstart I would have to set it on every "return View(...)" and that is not a good option as I have hundreds of those.
I can access a static method in a controller from _Viewstart like this:
string theme = Gentide.Web.Controllers.TenantsController.GetTenantTheme(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host);
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout" + theme + ".cshtml";
But since it is static I cannot access any appservice instances that that controller have injected :( ... which also means I have to access the database directly (not using repositories), for example:
db.Tenants.FirstAsync(x => x.TenancyName == host)
and which also means that I cannot use the CacheManager. As you can see it's not really a good solution.
Here is what I would like to do:
string theme = _tenantAppservice.GetCurrentTenantTheme();
or perhaps directly if that would be easier for some reason:
Tenant tenant = await CacheManager
.GetCache(MyConsts.MyCache)
.Get(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host + MyConsts.TENANT_CACHE_KEY, async () => await _tenantManager.GetTenant(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host));
string theme = tenant.Theme;
Any advice is appreciated!

I solved it finally. For anyone else looking for an answer, here is the solution: Somehow I had missed this in the documentation:
If you are in a static context or can not inject IIocManager, as a last chance, you can use singleton object IocManager.Instance everywhere.
So now I can do this:
ITenantAppservice tenantAppservice = IocManager.Instance.Resolve<TenantAppservice>(); string theme = tenantAppservice.GetCurrentTenantTheme();Sweet!
