Managed Extensibility Framework Quickstart: Hello, MEF

I've been working on quickstarts for a community team that I'm a member of. The team is called MEFContrib. We write extensions to the Managed Extensibility Framework as well as supporting manuals and documentation. I've been tasked with the quickstarts and as I release them I'll post them for you.

Obviously, a quickstart should be, well, quick, and easy. We also decided quickstarts would be independent so that you can jump into any topic without having to read the prior ones. Today's post is simply a "Hello, MEF" for a quick introduction to using MEF. I will also follow up with a version specifically for Silverlight.

I've embedded the quickstart video below, and you can read the full article (with video included) by clicking here.

Enjoy!

Viewing this content requires Silverlight. You can download Silverlight from http://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/silverlight3.
