Well done, Glenn! I'm always quite pleased to see Microsoft going the open-source route on their new frameworks. I've been having lots of fun working with Composite WPF lately, and I'm looking forward to digging into MEF as well. Even the best product documentation leaves a lot of unanswered questions, but being able to actually inspect the code yourself makes the prospect much more attractive. Thanks for your efforts!

Best regards,

Mike

Non starter.

Going forward I'll release all my changes to open-source products on my own LPL. My LPL does not permit my code to be used under Windows.

Great job! I will try it out on Mono ASAP!

@Anthony

I recommend waiting until the next code drop in a few weeks. Currently the MEF source still has a dependency on a dll which is under MS-LPL (mentioned in my post). We are fixing this in the next code drop at which point that dll will no longer be needed, and the MS-PL source will be sufficient.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi Rex

As I mentioned in the post and the comment above, the source is now pure MS-PL, but the dll dependency is not. By the next source drop nothing will be under MS-LPL.

Thanks

Glenn

Wrong blog post there, mate. ;)

Thanks for this, Glenn. The MS-LPL is a waste of time, so this is great to see. :)

I know, I'm evil to ask that, but since you posted this more than "about 3 to 4 weeks" have past, so is there a fresh MEF drop waiting to be released anytime soon (like, tomorrow-soon?)

@Krzysztof

Not evil. We're a bit behind but working on getting a drop out the door. I'll be working to get this done now.

Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF)!
