MEF + Factories(blog.eworldui.net)

submitted by mhawley(1125) 3 years, 5 months ago

Lately I've been really digging into MEF and have been looking at it's pros & cons, ease of use, extensibility, and the simple DI container that it can provide. I'm not going to give an overview of MEF, as others have done so already. What I am here to show off is a concept that may prove useful for some applications. Many of us use a DI container in very simplistic ways, as well as registering injection strategies during type resolution. read more...

Avoid the Managed Extensibility Framework(tirania.org)

submitted by Lord(3737) 3 years, 8 months ago

As a .NET developer, you should avoid using the newly released Managed Extensibility Framework as its license prevents its use beyond the Windows platform. This will prevent your .NET software from running on Linux or MacOS in the future. Luckily, there is a cross platform solution available today that has no platform limitations: Mono.Addins. read more...

Building A Fluent Interface for MEF(managed-world.com)

submitted by adminjew(1490) 3 years, 10 months ago

Lately I've been digging more and more into the first CTP of the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) coming out of Krzysztof Cwalina's team here at Microsoft. By default, a developer needs to sprinkle Export and Import attributes in their classes at the point they are needing something to be injected, or on classes that need to be exported in order to be injected into other classes. However, if you don't like this behavior, MEF provides several extension points you can use to provide a different interface into MEF. read more...
