Unity Support for Xml-Based Configuration #17

Closed alexchilcott closed 12 years ago

alexchilcott commented 12 years ago

I'd love for AgentMulder to support the design-time xml-based method of configuring Unity. Currently only the fluent interface is supported

Hello Alex,

Thank you for your request.

You're right, only the fluent interface of IoC containers is supported - this is due to the fact that Agent Mulder is using pattern matching to find component registrations. It was not designed to read xml configuration. I realize that many Unity-based setups are using the xml-config, but it is outside the scope of Agent Mulder, therefore I will not add support at this stage for xml-configuration.

You are more than welcome to create one yourself and contribute, if you like, I'd be more than happy to help integrating. But as far as adding support - I'm sorry, I would have to decline.

Ah, I hadn't realised that only fluent interfaces were supported for all the containers you support. Fair enough, I did think it sounded like a huge undertaking in order to support xml configs! Maybe one day I will take a look at the Resharper plugin API, but chances are I won't :) Thanks anyway for the great open source plugin.
