PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute: WebActivatorEx vs. System.Web #19

Open cb55555 opened 10 years ago

I installed the Unity bootstrapper for ASP.NET MVC in my project, and your WebActivator package is one of the dependencies. I see that WebActivator is implemented as an attribute class called WebActivatorEx.PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute. However, there already exists a PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute class in the System.Web namespace of .NET Framework 4.5. Is there any significant difference between the two?

WebActivator is actually built on top of the ASP.NET attribute (see here).

The main difference is that it provides more features. The readme covers some of these items.
