Abstract
The Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is designed to help you create extensible applications. It can discover loosely coupled components (known as parts) at runtime, and “composes” them together. MEF can provide the following two key benefits to your application:
-
As a simple dependency injection framework, MEF allows parts of your application to be decoupled, with the dependencies resolved at runtime.
-
MEF provides a plug-in framework, helping you to modularize your application and make it extensible.
