DotNetCore, Prism 7, WPF - Service Not Being Created - wpf

I'm using DotnetCore, WPF and Prism 7 to make a desktop application. I have one service called DbConnectionService that doesn't seem to be created. This service is not injected into any component that is reachable through the View tree(?). Instead, it listens to the IEventAggregator and communicates with the rest of the app through that.
I'm finding that I'm not able to get it to 1. be created, and 2. if it is created it doesn't stick around (GC I assume).
Below is the code I have "shotgunning" anything that will create the DbConnectionService. All to no avail.
containerRegistry.RegisterInstance(typeof(DbConnectionService), "DbConnectionService");
containerRegistry.Register<IDbConnectionService, DbConnectionService>();
containerRegistry.RegisterSingleton(typeof(DbConnectionService));
containerRegistry.GetContainer().RegisterSingleton<DbConnectionService>();
Any help on getting this service to be created and stick around is greatly appreciated.

This service is not injected into any component
That's why it's not created. Either you inject it and rely on the container's magic to create it, or you create it yourself.
You can use the container to keep the object alive (i.e. not garbage collected) through RegisterInstance:
containerRegistry.RegisterInstance( containerRegistry.GetContainer().Resolve<DbConnectionService>() );
Note that Resolve isn't on IContainerRegistry to prevent you from doing this, because you don't want to mix registering and resolving. If you have to, make 110% sure that all dependencies of DbConnectionService are registered beforehand.

Prism navigation/view discovery ignores container scopes

I am facing the following problem with Prism and DryIoC.
My contaier is set up with different scopes for reusing dependencies within those scopes. This works fine on injected dependencies. But as soon as I use Prisms navigation (_regionManager.RequestNavigate) or view discovery (_regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion) mechanisms, this breaks up. I guess this is because both use the ServiceLoctor and the DryIocServiceLocatorAdapter resolves dependencies directly from the container.
Is there any built-in-option to make this work or any idea how to solve this in a good way?

Share Angular2 Service across multiple windows

My website is built with Angular2. Imagine it as a big dashboard with a lot of modules. Sometimes information from multiple modules are required at the same time - therefore I want to allow my users to open a module in a new window. A real-world example for this is the video container of Hangout.
From my research there would be 2 ways to do this:
I open the route of the selected Ng-Component in a new window. As a result angular would reinit all services. To keep my data consistent I would need find a way to sync the instances. Maybe some kind of service that writes all attributes to localStorage?
This is somehow the way GoldenLayout implemented the Popouts.
I could init my component in window A and hide it - Now open a new window (B) and pass a copy (Css, HTML, Data) of my component to it. This would mean that I only need to sync the mirrored component, but I am not sure if this is good architecture.
Which way would you go to solve the described problem and are there more elegant solutions?

AngularJS inject a singleton per view service

I am trying to negotiate a conceptual issue in AngularJS.
I have a controller that is currently using multiple services. Among this services, a few are used as a singleton per view. This means that once I enter a certain view (actually state since I am using Ui-Router), these specific services, which have some dependencies among themselves, are singleton(s).
However, when exiting this view and going later going back should instantiate new instances of them (and again being singletons for this state).
There are a few possible solution I came out with, all of them are not great:
Manually force instantiating them every time entering this view.
Manually force deleting from cache every time exiting this view.
Using a controller rather then using service/factory/provider.
Creating my own "factory" type, which will be implementing the angular's injection without being a singleton.
I was wondering if angular can offer some sort of "type" (such as non-singleton factory), that can solve this issue.

WPF Prism reloading module using IModuleManager.LoadModule

I need to display views in a Module.The Module Registers it's view using in Initialize method.
User will select module name from drop down list. First time it works using IModuleManager.LoadModule(string ModuleName). If I want to re-display the same module again(in the same region after clearing the previously displayed module) IModuleManager.LoadModule is not going to work. I dont know the views and regions contained in that Module. I know just ModuleName and I need to display it's view.
How can I do that?
Your questions is very confusing. Can you provide more information? The IRegionManager is the component to register Views to your predefined Regions. The ModuleManager is only responsible to load an assembly if I got that right.
I don't think you can Load a Module multiple times, because the second time it is loaded already. The logic for displaying views should be regulated via Services within your Modul so inside your Module should be a Method that uses the IRegionManager to register a specific View to a Region.
I don't know whether you use Unity or MEF ( or another IOC ) but you can obtain the IRegionManager within your Module via the Container.
Maybe you should watch this Tutorial series Prism Tutorial Series. It seems to me you are missing some basic principles

Unity to return new instance of service

I have come across a bit of a problem while using Unity and WPF. The scenario is I have a WPF application which follows the MVVM design pattern. A have a module called ViewKDI. Within this module I have a service called ViewKDIService, the ViewKDIService service utilises another service called UserService.
Every time I load the module ViewKDI I want Unity to return me a new instance of both the ViewKDIService and the UserService.
I have put the below in the shell bootstrapper:
Container.RegisterType<IUserService, UserService>();
In the ViewKDI module I have put the following:
Container.RegisterType<IViewKDIService, ViewKDIService>();
Each time the ViewKDI module loads the ViewKDIService constructor is called. However the UserService constructor is only called the first time, this means that I am not getting a new instance of UserService.
I require unity to give me a new instance of UserService too so that I can manage this session separately from the rest of the application.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Unity's default behaviour is to create a new instance of each object each time one is requested, so you shouldn't be seeing this behaviour.
From what I can gather from the source code and MSDN documentation (this is a good read), you can specify a "lifetime manager" object when you register a type to tell Unity how the type should be constructed and cached. Using the TransientLifetimeManager (which essentially does no caching) will cause Unity to re-create the class each time. So try this:
Container.RegisterType<IUserService, UserService>(new TransientLifetimeManager());
... and see if it creates a new UserService each time.
