Does MS PnP Unity check for assemblies like StructureMap?

Question

In Using StructureMap 2.5 to scan all assemblies in a folder , we see that StructureMap uses AssembliesFromPath() to explicitly look for types to allow. What is equivalent to this in Microsoft Unity? Since Unity is such a general term, finding documents about it online is not so simple.

Update: Unity has something called the Build Compliance Rule , but its description does not tell me that it scans folders.

Answer 1

An assembly matching rule is used to apply interception to classes built by Unity, and not to register a container. Unity itself does not have any conditional scan functions such as StructureMap. There is a CodePlex project that adds similar Unity functionality. http://autoregistration.codeplex.com/

Answer 2

Registration under the Convention has been added to Unity 3.0. Pleasant examples of this feature are given in the Developer's Guide for Dependency Injection Using Unity in a solution in samples named OtherUnitySamples. You can find the book here:
