+
+### Accessing DI Services in Handlers
+
+The Teams SDK uses the minimal API callback pattern. Services registered in `builder.Services` are available via `app.Services` after `builder.Build()`. Capture them in your handler closures:
+
+```csharp
+var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
+builder.AddTeams();
+
+// Register your services
+builder.Services.AddSingleton<IMyService, MyService>();
+
+var app = builder.Build();
+var teams = app.UseTeams();
+
+// Resolve from DI and capture in the closure
+var myService = app.Services.GetRequiredService<IMyService>();
+
+teams.OnMessage(async (context, cancellationToken) =>
+{
+    // myService is captured from the outer scope
+    var result = await myService.ProcessAsync(context.Activity.Text);
+    await context.Send(result, cancellationToken);
+});
+
+app.Run();
+```
+
+This is the same pattern used throughout ASP.NET Core minimal APIs.
+
+<!-- scoped-services -->
+
+### Scoped Services (e.g., DbContext)
+
+Scoped services are created once per scope. In a controller, ASP.NET Core creates a scope per request automatically. In callbacks, you create the scope yourself:
+
+```csharp
+var sp = app.Services;
+
+teams.OnMessage(async (context, cancellationToken) =>
+{
+    using var scope = sp.CreateScope();
+    var dbContext = scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<MyDbContext>();
+    // dbContext is scoped to this request
+    await dbContext.Logs.AddAsync(new LogEntry { Text = context.Activity.Text });
+    await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync(cancellationToken);
+});
+```
+
+:::warning
+Do not resolve scoped services directly from `app.Services` — this throws `InvalidOperationException` at runtime. Always use `CreateScope()`.

+
+<!-- coming-from-controllers -->
+
+### Coming from Controllers?
+
+If you previously used controller-based bots, you're used to constructor injection:
+
+```csharp
+public class MyBot : ActivityHandler
+{
+    private readonly IMyService _service;
+
+    public MyBot(IMyService service)
+    {
+        _service = service;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+In the callback pattern, there's no class and no constructor. You resolve services from `app.Services` and capture them in closures. The result is the same — your handler has access to the service — the mechanism is different.

+**Dependency Injection:** In the controller pattern, services are injected via the constructor. In the Teams SDK callback pattern, resolve services from `app.Services` after `builder.Build()` and capture them in your handler closures. See [Dependency Injection](/in-depth-guides/dependency-injection) for details and examples.
