Methods

BuildUp(IUnityContainer, Type, object, params ResolverOverride[])

Run an existing object through the container and perform injection on it.

public static object BuildUp(this IUnityContainer container, Type t, object existing, params ResolverOverride[] resolverOverrides)

Parameters

container IUnityContainer

Container to resolve through.

t Type

Type of object to perform injection on.

existing object

Instance to build up.

resolverOverrides ResolverOverride[]

Any overrides for the Buildup.

Returns

object

The resulting object. By default, this will be existing, but container extensions may add things like automatic proxy creation which would cause this to return a different object (but still type compatible with t).

Remarks

This method is useful when you don't control the construction of an instance (ASP.NET pages or objects created via XAML, for instance) but you still want properties and other injection performed.

This overload uses the default registrations.

BuildUp<T>(IUnityContainer, T, string, params ResolverOverride[])

Run an existing object through the container and perform injection on it.

public static T BuildUp<T>(this IUnityContainer container, T existing, string name, params ResolverOverride[] resolverOverrides)

Parameters

container IUnityContainer

Container to resolve through.

existing T

Instance to build up.

name string

name to use when looking up the typemappings and other configurations.

resolverOverrides ResolverOverride[]

Any overrides for the Buildup.

Returns

T

The resulting object. By default, this will be existing, but container extensions may add things like automatic proxy creation which would cause this to return a different object (but still type compatible with T).

Type Parameters

T

Type of object to perform injection on.

Remarks

This method is useful when you don't control the construction of an instance (ASP.NET pages or objects created via XAML, for instance) but you still want properties and other injection performed.

Type Parameters

T

Type of object to perform injection on.

Remarks

This method is useful when you don't control the construction of an instance (ASP.NET pages or objects created via XAML, for instance) but you still want properties and other injection performed.
