Silverlight: Just released Unity Application Block 1.2
You can now use the power of dependency injection in Silverlight. Earlier you were required to make some tweaks to be able to use Unity on Silverlight. Patterns and Practices announces the official release of Unity for Silverlight.
Some modifications and capabilities of this release includes:
- The single Microsoft.Practices.Unity.dll file in the Silverlight version contains all the classes from the three separate desktop DLLs: Microsoft.Practices.Unity.dll,Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder2.dll, and Microsoft.Practices.Unity.StaticFactoryExtension.dll. You only need to reference and deploy the one assembly in your Silverlight projects.
- Because of differences in the Silverlight security model, only public types can be created and injected by the container. The desktop version allows you to also inject internal types.
- XML configuration is not supported.
- The Unity interception mechanism is not supported.
An updated quickstart is also included.
