MEF and Prism
August 6th, 2009
In this show, we look at Prism and the Managed Extensibility Framework or MEF. What are the differences? How do they overlap? We have the perfect guide: Glenn Block! He’s worked on MEF and Prism, and he helps us sort them out.
In this show:
- Prism and MEF are complementary. Since Prism can swap IoC containers, MEF can slide into that slot. At the moment, this is a bit of a trick, though. Glenn will be blogging on how to accomplish this.
- For the moment, unless you’re willing to dive into Prism/MEF code, Prism is probably the technology you’re going to use for Separation Of Concerns in larger applications.
- Prism and MEF may be teaming up in the future, and we’ll get the best of both worlds.
- If you’re thinking about 3rd party extensibility, MEF has some great support for that.
