Opening up your application the Managed Extensibility Framework

Opening up your application the Managed Extensibility Framework

Modern applications are often built from pluggable parts composed together either at development time or at runtime. Such parts might include reusable libraries, application add-ins, host provided services, or internal parts separated from the main application for engineering reasons; The .NET framework currently provides basic functionality for loading such parts, but it does not provide a built-in mechanism for discovering and composing them. The Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is a new .NET Framework technology designed to enable development of parts and applications composed from such parts. This session will cover the basic MEF usage scenarios and architecture.
