Create an initialization module

When you create your initialization module, add a reference to EPiServer.Framework.dll. The following initialization code example sets up a property with a default implementation in Initialize, then undoes the process in Uninitialize:

[InitializableModule]
public class SampleInitialization: IInitializableModule {
  public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context) {}
  public void Uninitialize(InitializationEngine context) {}
}

• The initialization engine ensures that your code executes in a single-threaded manner.

  You do not need to lock regions when you deal with a shared state. This guarantee is only made for Initialize and Uninitialize when you execute through the initialization system. You may have to deal with multi-threading issues if you have custom code that makes calls directly into your initialization module.

• The initialization system tracks the initialization state of your module.

• Implement Uninitialize – Anything you do with Initialize must be undone with Uninitialize in the reverse order of Initialize. This is important if you write integration tests that reset applications between test runs.

• If you are using the CMS API, add a module dependency to CMS using [ModuleDependency(typeof(EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule))].
