Hi, Can someone show me how to use Enterprise library configuration tool with Unity2

Whatever I did, when I open the Enterprise library configuration tool, I could not have it working with a Unity config file.

When I click on the menu to add a new block, there is no Unity configuration block

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help

A: 

Unity 2 is not yet finalized (still in Beta 2). I guess we have to wait.

Besides, Unity 2 config file is much easier to be typed manually, compared to the 1.x versions.

Unity 2 has RTMed with Enterprise Library 5.It is not in beta any moreThe documentation is however still missing.

EntLib 5 does ship a newer version of Unity 2 (2.0.414), but I am not sure if that's the RTM build for Unity 2. Nowhere it was mentioned, even on http://unity.codeplex.com

If you read that article carefully, it states the tool in use is a beta. Probably it was the one in EntLib 5 beta 1.

Unity 2.0 and documentation is available as a separate download as of today.

Unfortunately the limited support for the Unity configuration in the Configuration Tool that you may have seen in one of the EntLib 5.0 betas didn't make it into the final release due to time constraints.

However, we have made the Unity configuration XML significantly easier to author with things like assembly and namespace aliasing to save having to repeatedly specify fully qualified types.

We have released Unity 2.0 standalone, Unity 2.0 for Silverlight as well as Enterprise Library 5.0 full documentation set today.
