Umb. 7.0.4 + Autofac = "Failed to retrieve data for application tree content"

Installing umbraco
Hello,I have a class "DependecyConfig" which is called from Global.asax on OnApplicationStarting.

DependecyConfig.cs

public static IContainer RegisterDependencies(Assembly currentAssembly)
        {

            var builder = new ContainerBuilder();

            // Register the controllers.
            builder.RegisterControllers(currentAssembly);
            builder.RegisterApiControllers(currentAssembly);

            builder.RegisterFilterProvider();

            var container = builder.Build();

            DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(container));
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(container);

            return container;
        }

So there is an error while parsing Umbraco Nodes

Can you have a look at the last post on this page : http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/41794-Web-API-UmbracoApiController-does-not-use-DependencyResolver?p=1

Maybe this code can help you out

@Bouy - did you resolve the problem?

I've just run into the problem, I'm using Umbraco 7.1.1 with Autofac 3.3.1. I've followed the steps in this post (http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/41794-Web-API-UmbracoApiController-does-not-use-DependencyResolver?p=1), but still the back office is throwing the same exception.

Update:

I've solved my problems with Umbraco 7.1.1 and Autofac 3.3.1. Here's what I did:

```
Install-Package Autofac.Mvc4
```
```
Install-Package Autofac.WebApi
```

Then, initialize Autofac as follows:

        public static void Initialize()
        {
            var builder = new ContainerBuilder();

            // Register umbraco context, mvc controllers and api controllers
            builder.Register(c => UmbracoContext.Current).AsSelf();
            builder.RegisterControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
            builder.RegisterApiControllers(typeof(UmbracoApplication).Assembly);

            // Register application specific types 
            RegisterTypes(builder);

            var container = builder.Build();
            var resolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(container);
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = resolver;
            DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(container));
        }

I hope that helps others solve this problem.

Lifesaver - thanks! The key to resolving the issue for me was this line:
```
builder.RegisterApiControllers(typeof(UmbracoApplication).Assembly);
```
UmbracoCms 7.5.2 & Autofac.Mvc5 & Autofac.WebApi2

This fixed my issue too, with the slight difference that my controllers are in a separate project. I added the following line to resolve this:
```
builder.RegisterApiControllers(typeof(UmbracoContext).Assembly);
```

```
builder.RegisterApiControllers(typeof(Umbraco.Forms.Web.Trees.FormTreeController).Assembly)
```
