In this show, we explore Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) and Silverlight. Our guide is none other than Glenn Block!
In this show:
- MEF makes Silverlight applications extensible. Think about a custom CRM system. Sometimes we want to customize those applications per customer and MEF/Silverlight makes that easy.
- Other technologies (think Modules in Prism) can lead to bloat. MEF allows a heirarchy of modularity. Modules can be broken down into modules and those modules can be further broken down.
- It’s in the works to allow MEF to dynamically load UI pieces into the XAML. There’s the potential to add members to a MVVM ViewModel and have those members drive the generation of pieces of the UI…
Thanks to Jona from YACHT for his great music.
