MEF vs Mono.AddIn

Question

I\'m developing a .NET 3.5 C# desktop application. It should be extensible via plug-ins.

Are there any articles etc. discussing the differences between MEF and Mono.AddI

Answer 1

I investigated both and decided to go with MEF, mostly because it's going to be released as part of .NET 4 so there will automatically be more support, discussion, and development surrounding it. Also, MEF seemed to be able to do everything I needed using attributes right in the code, and Mono.AddIns required some metadata files, if I remember correctly.

EDIT: If you'd like to see the result of my efforts at using MEF to build an extensible application framework, I've open sourced it, and given it a name: SoapBox Core.
