Unity 1.2 - Application Block
The Unity Application Block (Unity) is a lightweight, extensible dependency injection container. 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 (via an extension introduced in this release)
