October 14th, 2010, 10 am - 11 am PDT (see your local time)
Register for this webinar
MEF (aka Managed Extensibility Framework) allows building dynamic applications. An implementation of MEF is available for Silverlight developers. MEF allows us to build loosely coupled applications that are composed at runtime. Also, MEF is a great way to add extra functionality to an application on the fly by downloading components as they are needed. In this webinar, we'll look at how MEF works and how we can put it to our use.
Main topics to be covered:
- MEF introduction
- Parts
- Learning about Import, Export and Composition
- Being Lazy with MEF
- Catalogs
- Recomposition
- Using MEF in MVVM scenarios
