MEF Experiments

A few quick demo projects showing Dependency injection, run-time dynamic plugins, and code hot-swapping using MEF. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd460648(v=vs.110).aspx

  • Plugin watcher

    A utility class to watch folders for changing plugins of a specific type

  • Simple plugin and IoC demo

    Shows basic use of contract interfaces, plugin implementations, unit testing and a simple composed application to bring it all together.

    • DemoApp
    • DemoApp.Contracts
    • DemoApp.Unit.Tests
    • DemoAppPlugins

  • Live plugin updates

    Using the PluginWatcher to add and remove implementations at run time

    • PluginWatcher.App
    • PluginWatcher.Contracts
    • WatcherPlugin_A

  • Hot code-swap

    Showing a simple way to update an implementation at run time, using the PluginWatcher

    • HotSwap.Contracts -- basic upgrade contract and a sample task for the demo
    • HotSwap.Greeting.V1 -- first version, configured at startup
    • HotSwap.Greeting.V2 -- second version. Drop it's .dll file in the running HotSwapDemo.App's bin/Plugins folder to see an upgrade happen
    • HotSwapDemo.App -- an application that does a simple hot code swap
