I'm trying to use a service (that's used elsewhere, and I'm injecting via autofac in some controllers) in a method for a published event. I've made an ApplicationEventHandler, and I've overridden ApplicationStarting(this is the one below, but I've tried both)/Started methods, and it doesn't seem like it's even possible to inject dependencies to this class. Having a constructor makes the functions I'm adding to the ContentService not work/get called at all, and I'd rather not instantiate the service with the eventhandler if at all possible.

My code is below, I guess what I'm asking is "Can I inject services/dependencies to avoid without instantiating the classes in my ApplicationEventHandler", or "What is another approach/pattern for creating event handlers that update third party services on publish"

I've seen a few other threads where people are trying to do this, but none of them really seem to have gotten anywhere/don't have any more replies.

public class UmbracoEventHandler : ApplicationEventHandler
    {
        protected override void ApplicationStarting(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {
            ContentService.Published += ContentServicePublished;
            base.ApplicationStarting(umbracoApplication, applicationContext);
        }

        private void ContentServicePublished(IPublishingStrategy sender, PublishEventArgs<IContent> args)
        {
            LogHelper.Info(typeof(UmbracoEventHandler), "Something has been published");
            foreach (var node in args.PublishedEntities)
            {
                if (node.Published)
                {
                    //other logic and send to service here
                }
            }
        }
    }
