Unity resolved by name

Question

I have the following constructor for the Service class:

public class Service : IService
{
    private readonly IRepository _repository;

    public Service(IRepository repository)
    {
        _repository = repository;
    }

    // ...
}

IRepository has two named implementations. I want to enable IService, but you need to establish which IRepository implementation should be used (the service must be flexible, and I cannot put the Dependency attribute in the IRepository constructor parameter).

Is there any way to implement its Unity?

To achieve this, you can use the unit configuration section. Check this link.

In the configuration section, you can specify the display as follows.

 <type type="IMyService" mapTo="MyDataService" name="DataService">
      <typeConfig extensionType="Microsoft.Practices.Unity.Configuration.TypeInjectionElement,
                                 Microsoft.Practices.Unity.Configuration">
        <constructor>
          <param name="connectionString" parameterType="string">
            <value value="AdventureWorks"/>
          </param>
          <param name="logger" parameterType="ILogger">
            <dependency />
          </param>
        </constructor> 
        <property name="Logger" propertyType="ILogger" />
        <method name="Initialize">
          <param name="connectionString" parameterType="string">
            <value value="contoso"/>
          </param>
          <param name="dataService" parameterType="IMyService">
            <dependency />
          </param>
        </method>
      </typeConfig>
    </type>
