Event Breakdown
Ben Hall Creating extendable applications using MEF
Creating extendable applications has always been troublesome and time-consuming, there are many different approaches you could take each with their own set of issues. However, this is changing with the release of the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) which is available from CodePlex and will be included with .Net framework 4.0. MEF makes extensibility more effective and can be taken advantage of both from within your application allowing for a more loosely coupled system, but also externally to allow 3rd parties to create extensions to hook into your application. In this session, you will learn how you can integrate MEF into your application for creating extensibility points, how to create the addins themselves and understand how MEF handles multiple versions of your core application and external addins. Finally, we will look at the relationship between MEF and MAF (Managed Addin Framework) and how MEF can be extended to meet your own requirements.
