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.
