Question

Is it possible to configure ms Unity container from an xml document and NOT from a file? thx

Answer 1

Not sure about that, but you can configure programmatically without a .config, so you could have your own xml file, read settings and programmatically setup your Unity container. It's ashame this facet isn't covered in alot of the documentation. There are alot of scenarios where the App.config isn't available or appropriate.

Edit:

By default, this is the App.config or Web.config file for your application. However, you can load configuration information from any other XML format file or from other sources.

Thank you for the effort.

Hi,

Why don't you save the XMLDocument in some file localy on the machine and then load that XML file in the Unity container.

Unless there is any restriction in saving the XMLdocument i think it would work.
