Member Quotes

Shahid Iqbal

One of the best yet - I'm quite familiar with MEF and we have been using it since preview but Glenn covered some of the newer SL stuff which was good.

Roger Billsdon

A really good presenter who is clearly a MEF enthusiast and is doing a great job promoting the technology for Microsoft. Some of the coding examples could have been clearer, but I know that demonstrating code is never easy.

Event Breakdown

Glenn Block	Silverlight Application Partitioning and Extensibility with MEF
Wouldn't it be nice if your team could add new features to your applications without all the headache they have to deal with today? With the Managed Extensiblity Framework (MEF) in 4.0 you can bolt your apps together dynamically on the fly. Adding new modules and features is as simple as deploying a new binary, you don't have to touch the existing code. You can even deploy those features as separate XAP files which can be loaded on-demand! Come to this talk for a quick tour of what MEF is, and learn how you can use it to beat out your competition.
