2017年5月23日 · MAF and MEF both can use AppDomains and both can load/unload dll in runtime. However the differences I have found are: MAF AddIns are decoupled, MEF components are loose coupled; MAF "Activates" (new instance) while MEF makes instances by default. With MEF you can use Generics to make GenericHost for any contract.

2011年10月12日 · Choosing between MEF and MAF (System.AddIn) As for MEF vs. PRISM, the differences extend beyond the existence of the Event Aggregator - specifically Extensibility, Discovery, and different concepts of Modularity. At this point, these are somewhat complimentary products. The June 1 drop of PRISM 4 supports MEF (instead of Unity) as a DI container.

2010年6月24日 · MEF: This one seems simpler, but it also feels like there is a lot of magic that I can't control, and the layers aren't separated as much as in MAF. I want just a small library you can link to a new project, implement the interface and the plugin is done.

2012年1月17日 · I want to compose my plugins with MEF (Managed Extensibility Framework) and run them in a separate process with MAF (Managed AddIn Framework). So . First, is it possible? Then, if possible how? (Any small example will be great.) How can MEF and MAF work together and complement each other? Make Myself More Specific:

2010年8月13日 · MAF isn't really the same thing. It is very specific to System.AddIn and has some more rigid requirements and contracts to satisfy. Having said that, it also specifically targets a particular type of extensibility that some people may want.

2018年8月1日 · using the MEF; using the MAF; Second question: in the life of system, could happen that some plug-in are made with a old WPF version and other with last WPF version. Which the best solution among those listed above to guarantee that, if for example I load a plug-in with an older version of WPF after loading a plug-in with a newer version of WPF ...

2011年9月25日 · Possible Duplicate: Choosing between MEF and MAF (System.AddIn) Is the Managed Extensibility Framework a replacement for System.Addin?

2016年7月15日 · Is there a way to cache MEF components graph per-application startup (WPF), like the MAF do to avoid discovering the directories and constructing the components graph every application startup. in order to speed up my application startup.

2013年1月3日 · This probably won't be your complete answer, but I will chime in on MEF, which I do have experience with (I have no real experience with MAF). MEF has a lot of advantages that I think are appropriate for your needs. MEF is lightweight and it's ridiculously easy to use. It provides a dependency injection. The discovery stuff is very easy to use.

2011年2月26日 · This resides in System.ComponentModel.Composition and is popularly known as MEF (short for Managed Extensibility Framework). I'd advise you to skip MAF and skip directly to using MEF. FWIW, Visual Studio 2010 uses MEF to dynamically extend the UI, both for features shipping with VS and for extensions provided by 3rd parties.
