In this episode of the Coding4Fun Show, I interview Arian Kulp, creator of the MEF Utility Runner, a unified host for system tray utility applications.  Learn a bit about MEF and how it can be leveraged to create a plugin architecture for any application, as well as how it was used to create the MEF Utility runner, and how you can write your own plugins for this application.

Before C# there was darkness...

Not sure I understand.  Is MEF going to be a part of .net 4.0?  Is MEF runner a part of .net 4.0?

I like pie.

MEF is currently an add-on for .NET 3.5 but will be integrated into .NET 4.0.  The MEF utility runner is an app Arian built for Coding4Fun with the current MEF framework and is not part of .NET 4.0.
