Read Original

This article is a technical guide to Microsoft's Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) for .NET. It explains the core concepts of export, import, and composition using an analogy of building a shed. The author provides C# code examples to demonstrate how MEF automates dependency discovery and injection, moving from manual object instantiation to using AssemblyCatalog and CompositionContainer for cleaner, more manageable code.
