How to register same type twice with different constructors in Unity?

Question

I'm trying to register the same type but with two different constructors. When I trying to resolve, I get "Resolution of the dependency failed" on the second Resolve.

    var container = new UnityContainer();

    container.RegisterType<IBar, Bar>()
        .RegisterInstance(new Bar())
        .RegisterType<IBar, Bar>()
        .RegisterInstance(new Bar("foo"));

    Bar bar1 = (Bar)container.Resolve<IBar>();
    Bar bar2 = (Bar)container.Resolve<IBar>("foo");  // ERROR

What I'm doing wrong?

You need to give them names when registering. The parameter to Resolve is the name of the instance you want.

var container = new UnityContainer();

container
    .RegisterInstance<IBar>("BAR", new Bar())
    .RegisterInstance<IBar>("FOOBAR", new Bar("foo"));

Bar bar1 = (Bar)container.Resolve<IBar>("BAR");
Bar bar2 = (Bar)container.Resolve<IBar>("FOOBAR");
