@bricelam If you had this API could we use it for the Migrations command line tools in the short term? Otherwise is it acceptable to use reflection for now?

from hosting.

Yes, we need this. Duplicating all the intricacies of the code is non-trivial.

@bricelam @divega Is this still an issue?

from hosting.

Yes, we need an easy way for tools to call Startup.ConfigureServices() the same way Hosting would. Our workaround is pretty ugly and incomplete.

I have some cycles to take a look at this if this is something we want to do

We just talked about the same thing in the hosting API review. Talk to @lodejard. I can fill you in one the basic plan if you can't pin him down.

Current thinking is to try to remove UseServices with ConfigureServices as the only supported way to well...configure services

Currently EF's tool is doing this:

•            var context = new HostingContext
  

•            {
  

•                ServerFactory = new ServerFactory(),
  

•            };
  

•            var instance = new HostingEngine().Start(context);
  

•            return context.ApplicationServices.GetService(type) as DbContext;

Will be addresed by #204
