Register open generics in ASP.NET Core

Given the following:

public class Foo : IFoo {
  ...
}

public class FooValidator : AbstractValidator<IFoo> {
  ...
}

It would be nice to be able to resolve IValidator<Foo> from the ASP.NET Core DI Container.

I know the built-in DI container does not support open generics out of the box, so one would have to scan the assembly and explicitly register the validator for all concrete implementations of IFoo.

Yep, can definitely look at doing that for a future version

The simplest thing is probably just to register these types with the container directly manually rather than relying on FV’s built in AssemblyScanner
