Unity Windows Azure Settings Injector

This is my first combined CodePlex / NuGet package contribution. This small piece of code is meant to help those of you who are using Unity as Policy Injection / DI framework and are considering moving to the cloud.

This project includes auto resolver for following Windows Azure Configuration Settings:

• LocalStorage
• Setting (both string setting and Azure Storage Connection string)

The source code is located at CodePlex: http://uasi.codeplex.com while the single line installation is located at NuGet:

PM> Install-Package UASI

The NuGet package will automatically add references to Unity assemblies (if not already added), to UASI assembly, and will make necessary configuration changes to your web.config / app.config file. It will also add (commented out) the following simple usage scenario for your project:

<unity xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/practices/2010/unity">
   <sectionExtension 
     type="Unity.AzureSetting.Injector.SectionExtensionInitiator, UASI"/>
     <!-- Bellow is sample usage of package –>
     <container>       
       <register type="IStorageHelper" mapTo="StorageHelper">
         <lifetime type="singleton" />
         <constructor>
           <param name="connectionString">
             <azureSetting
              key="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString"
              type="ConnectionString" />
           </param>
         </constructor>
         <property name="RootFolderName">
           <azureSetting key="LocalStore" type="LocalStorage" />
         </property>
       </register>
     </container>
</unity>

Hope that it will work smoothly with your projects!

What to expect:

In the project roadmap are implementations for IPEndPoint resolver (for both Internal / External EndPoints) and some real sample usage showcase.

Stay tuned for updates.
