Dude, why be fancy? Why not keep things simple if and/or when you demostrated concepts? After I've debugged your code, I found out you didn't include a reference to Microsoft.Expression.Drawing.dll.

This compiles, but doesn't run, i.e. circles rotate forever. What gives?

Hi Middle,

Just realized that I can eliminate what the cause is by adding the plugin as a reference. Once I did that it worked and the error was gone, so the download of the xap doesn't seem to work.

Not your problem though, will try to figure it out.

Thanks again, this article was a great help.

Hi Middle,

Great article and it has helped me plenty to find my feet with MEF.

But for the life of me I just can't get mine working. The Link loads perfectly and from debugging the Plugins and also the DownloadCompleted in the DeploymentCatalogServices.cs all seems fine. When I click on the link is where things just falls over, I get the error The type '', specified in the x:Class of '' could not be found in any loaded assembly. I've even used the dissambler to make sure that my export tag is correct.

Is there anything that you can think of that I might be missing. I see that you used a Silverlight Class library and then included it in a Silverlight Application for the SupplierPackage, is there any reason for doing that? If I just use a Silverlight Application will that have an effect?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Middle,

Yes, I tried it with WCF RIA service app. Furthermore, I have a completed demo, demonstrating WCF RIA, navigation framework and mef. There is nothing special in this case - each xap has a link to the service and communicate with it. However I decided not to upload it, since Brian Noyes has pretty nice series of articles about WCF RIA. In case you are interested, you could check it here.

Source Code's link is not correct. (http://www.silverlightshow.net/admin/)
