What Applications Use MEF

Question

Does anyone know of any applications that are currently using MEF? I'm looking for a good program to derive some idea on using MEF and seeing how others are using it will help me out a lot -- obviously this means open source programs would be favored.

Answer 1

Visual Studio itself uses MEF for editor extensions you could look into how some of these are written.

Also there is a project developed by Microsoft Patterns and Practices that is called Prism , which can use MEF for its DI . It is set up to be used with WPF, but as Glenn Block shows here it can be used with WinForms as well.

I have used a variation of Prism with MEF on my projects before and have been satisfied with the results.
