Does MS PnP Unity Scan for Assemblies Like StructureMap?

Question

In Using StructureMap 2.5 to scan all assemblies in a folder, we can see that StructureMap uses AssembliesFromPath() to explicitly look for types to resolve. What is the equivalent of this in Microsoft Unity? Because Unity is such a generic term, searching for documents about this online is not that easy.

Update: Unity has something called an Assembly Matching Rule but its description does not communicate to me that it scans folders.

Answer 1

The Assembly Matching Rule is used for applying interception to classes constructed by Unity and not for container registration. Unity itself does not have any convention-based scanning functionality like StructureMap. There is a CodePlex project that adds similar functionality to Unity though. http://autoregistration.codeplex.com/
