Enterprise Library Unity vs Other IoC Containers [closed]

Answer 1

Old thread but since this is the first thing that Google showed me when I typed in unity vs spring.net...

Spring does do CodeConfig now if you don't like XML config

http://www.springframework.net/codeconfig/doc-latest/reference/html/

Also, Spring is much more than just an DI container, if you look at the 'Modules' section in the docs, the DI container is the foundation of the huge stack of things it does.

Answer 2

Just to add my 2 cents, I've tried both StructureMap and Unity. I found StructureMap to be poorly/misguidingly documented, a pain in the butt to configure, and clunky to use. Likewise, it doesn't seem to support scenarios like constructor argument overrides at resolution time, which was a key usage point for me. So I dropped it and went with Unity, and had it doing what I wanted in about 20 minutes.
