It was &lt;a href="http://www.tavaresstudios.com/Blog/post/Unity-and-Silverlight-It-can-be-done!.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;possible&lt;/a&gt; to use Unity on Silverlight before, but you had to make some tweaks since Silverlight has some differences from the desktop common language runtime (CLR). We are happy to announce the official release of &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd362339.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Unity for Silverlight&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The following capabilities and packaging of the Unity container have been adjusted in this release:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;The single &lt;font face="Courier"&gt;Microsoft.Practices.Unity.dll&lt;/font&gt; file in the Silverlight version contains all the classes from the three separate desktop DLLs: &lt;font face="Courier"&gt;Microsoft.Practices.Unity.dll&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;font face="Courier"&gt;Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder2.dll&lt;/font&gt;, and &lt;font face="Courier"&gt;Microsoft.Practices.Unity.StaticFactoryExtension.dll&lt;/font&gt;. You only need to reference and deploy the one assembly in your Silverlight projects.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Because of differences in the Silverlight security model, only public types can be created and injected by the container. The desktop version allows you to also inject internal types.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML configuration is not supported.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Unity interception mechanism is not supported.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;An updated quickstart is also included.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://www.tavaresstudios.com/Blog/post/Announcing-Unity-12-for-Silverlight.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Chris’s post&lt;/a&gt; for more details on how this release was produced. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As always, submit your feedback and/or questions via &lt;a href="http://www.codeplex.com/unity/Thread/List.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Unity community forum&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Merry Christmas! and … Joyous Coding!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9212839" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/agile/archive/tags/EntLib/default.aspx">EntLib</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/agile/archive/tags/extensibility/default.aspx">extensibility</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/agile/archive/tags/Enterprise+Library/default.aspx">Enterprise Library</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/agile/archive/tags/dependency+injection/default.aspx">dependency injection</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/agile/archive/tags/Unity/default.aspx">Unity</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/agile/archive/tags/new+release/default.aspx">new release</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/agile/archive/tags/Silverlight/default.aspx">Silverlight</category></item></channel></rss>
