The only equivalent for Ninject Bind. ToMethod of IPrincipal, IIdentity

Question

I am trying to replicate the following Ninject syntax in Unity, but with no luck:

Bind<IIdentity>().ToMethod(c => HttpContext.Current.User.Identity); 

I think it should look something like this:

 IUnityContainer container; ... container.RegisterType<IIdentity>(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity); 

How should it be?

Answer 1

While neontapir's answer may work, this extension method is deprecated. The correct way to do this will now use an InjectionFactory :

 container.RegisterType<IIdentity>(new InjectionFactory(u => HttpContext.Current.User.Identity)); 

Answer 2

 container.RegisterInstance<IIdentity>(...); 

Answer 3

I suppose a static factory extension will do this. I'm rusting on Unity. Seeman Dependency Injection in .NET is a good resource for such situations.
