This is the first time i deal with custom validations, but I need to create a unique email validation using sitecore 9.0.2 and SXA 1.7.1 so i was following this tutorial

http://sitecoresolution.blogspot.com/2018/04/sitecore-9-forms-server-validation-email-already-exists.html

but i have a problem with this method: 

protected virtual IFormDataProvider FormDataProvider
    {
        get
        {
            IFormDataProvider formDataProvider = this._dataProvider;
            if (formDataProvider == null)
            {
                IFormDataProvider service = ServiceLocator.ServiceProvider.GetService<IFormDataProvider>();
                IFormDataProvider formDataProvider1 = service;
                this._dataProvider = service;
                formDataProvider = formDataProvider1;
            }
            return formDataProvider;
        }
    }

specifically this line: 

IFormDataProvider service = ServiceLocator.ServiceProvider.GetService<IFormDataProvider>();

saying that:

'IServiceProvider' does not contain a definition for 'GetService' and the best extension method overload 'DependencyResolverExtensions.GetService(IDependencyResolver)' requires a receiver of type 'IDependencyResolver'

Any ideas what might be the cause ?

    Do you have a reference to Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions.dll?

  • No , i didn't. i only had the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection not the abstractions. Thank you , that fixed it.

You need to add a reference Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions.dll to your project.

It's not enough to have Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.dll referenced only.

Add "using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection" to your usings should solve it. I had the same problem and VS didn't added it automatically.

  • i did have the reference to Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.dll and was using it but it was not working. Turns out i should use instead Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions.dll reference like @Marek Musielak suggested and add the using like you suggested.Thank you for your help.
