Monday Mornings : Extensibility in .NET 4.0

It is my great pleasure to speak at Microsoft Moday's last Monday on 22nd August 2011. I have introduced a way to develop a plugin based application with and without MEF. I have also touched some of the interfaces which Visual Studio uses for Extensibility. It has been a very good session and I have learned a lot from it.

If you are a part of the session, please get the Power Point Presentation and the updated source code.

Steps to write a plugin based application with MEF

I have already written a blog on Managed Extensibility Framework few days ago, and you must wonder why I am writing again.

In this blog lets show you in steps how you could easily create your own plugin based application and later change itself easily using MEF.
