AutoFac Controller does not have a default constructor

Question

Hi, I want to switch from Ninject to AutoFac, but I am having some problems. Error:

Controllers.API.Basic.AddressController 'has no default constructor

I will register this at startup:

var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
builder.RegisterControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
builder.RegisterApiControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

builder.RegisterType<AddressRepository>().As<IBaseRepository<Address>>();

builder.RegisterAssemblyModules(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

IContainer container = builder.Build();
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(container));

and this is my controller:

public class AddressController : GenericBaseController<Address>
{
    public AddressController(IBaseRepository<Address> repository)
        : base(repository)
    {
    }

Am I missing something? This worked with Ninject.

Found:

// Set the dependency resolver for Web API.
var webApiResolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(container);
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = webApiResolver;

After I installed this, it worked
