Question

In unity, when configuring a type, you can specify more than one typeConfig if uniquely named like so:

<type type="IFoo" mapTo="ConcreteFoo">
    <typeConfig name="rainbows">
        <constructor>
            <param name="magic" parameterType="string">
                <value value="rainbows"/>
            </param>
        </constructor>
    </typeConfig>
    <typeConfig name="unicorns>
        <constructor>
            <param name="magic" parameterType="string">
                <value value="unicorns"/>
            </param>
        </constructor>
    </typeConfig>
</type>

When resolving, how do you specify which typeConfig, and consequently what gets injected to the constructor?

Answer 1

Supply the name in a DependencyAttribute, like this:

[Dependency("unicorns")]
