Microsoft Unity 2.1 & Microsoft Unity 2.1 for Silverlight

Unity is a dependency injection container from Microsoft. It is full-featured, with support for instance and type interception and custom extensions.

It facilitates building loosely coupled applications and provides developers with the following advantages:

  • Simplified object creation, especially for hierarchical object structures and dependencies
  • Abstraction of requirements; this allows developers to specify dependencies at run time or in configuration and simplify management of crosscutting concerns
  • Increased flexibility by deferring component configuration to the container
  • Service location capability; this allows clients to store or cache the container
  • Instance and type interception

This is a minor service release of Unity with several fixes to the interception mechanism.
