## Getting the service

### Dependency Injection

In other cases, you may be able to use Dependency Injection. For instance if you have registered your own class in Umbraco's dependency injection, you can specify the `IPublicAccessService` interface in your constructor:

```csharp
public class MyClass
{
    private IPublicAccessService _publicAccessService;

 public MyClass(IPublicAccessService publicAccessService)
 {
  _publicAccessService = publicAccessService;
 }
}
```

In Razor views, you can access the member service through the `@inject` directive:

```csharp
@inject IPublicAccessService PublicAccessService
```
