    Is quite fun. I am using it on one of my applications (using DevExpress WinForms controls), and so far so good. There are a lot of things that can be done with it. I am (kinda) addicted to using it. Any tips/trick using it you guys would like to share?

      I've not come across MEF. Can you post some links on the format capabilities?

        Sure.[^] I'm not sure what you mean with "format compatibilities", but I assume they do have some dress code. As for tips, it's probably best to be stationed in or near Istanbul, otherwise, the commute could become a drag.

              Don't use things because they are cool/fun. Use them because they solve a business need AND because other solutions are less maintainable.

                But... Investigate and analyse those cool fun things coming out of companies like Microsoft or Google because they indicate the direction of thinking and development of the next big business solution. Getting your understanding up to speed early has enormous potential comercial value and it maintains your motivation to keep learning.

                            I some how bit reluctant to use MEF as DI container for every possible thing. Remember The MEF man Glenn Block once said that ”you should use MEF to manage your unknown dependencies and an IoC container to manage your known dependencies.” I still see most of them are using it as DI container (though it might work for you) than considering MEF as to handle the extensibility and plug-in capability of an application. Thanks,

                                    Nope. If that were true there would be several more orders of magnitude of APIs and technologies available versus what is actually available.
