Two Constructors in Controller in .NET

How do I use two constructors in my Controller in my Controller?

I have these two controllers in my public class OrdersController and I need them both for CRUD operations both by context and with HttpClientFactory for another API

private readonly IHttpClientFactory httpClientFactory;


        // I want to use this constructor as well as 
        [ActivatorUtilitiesConstructor]
        public OrdersController(IHttpClientFactory httpClientFactory)
        {
            this.httpClientFactory = httpClientFactory;
        }

        private readonly AnimimoMicroservicesNewOrderServiceContext _context;

        // this one
        public OrdersController(AnimimoMicroservicesNewOrderServiceContext context)
        {
            _context = context;
        }

Thanks in advance for any help

You can use Robert's solution, or on the other hand you can inject some objects directly into contoller's method using FromServicesAttribute when in necessary.

Example:

private readonly IHttpClientFactory httpClientFactory;

public OrdersController(IHttpClientFactory httpClientFactory)
{
    this.httpClientFactory = httpClientFactory;
}

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult CreateOrder([FromServices] AnimimoMicroservicesNewOrderServiceContext context)
{
    var data = context.CallMethod();
    return Ok(data);
}

Might you be looking for a constructor that takes two arguments?

    public OrdersController(IHttpClientFactory httpClientFactory, AnimimoMicroservicesNewOrderServiceContext context)
    {
        _context = context;
        this.httpClientFactory = httpClientFactory;
    }
