Question

I am sure this cant be hard – can it?

the only function seems to be GetExports but that seems to take 2 generic parameters plus a ExportDefintion that itself takes 5 values including a lambda – surely not? I thought I could do something like agcat.GetExports<IFoo>()

You don’t get instances from a catalog you get them from a container.

var container = new CompositionContainer(agCat);
var foos = container.GetExports<IFoo>(); // Or GetExportedValues<IFoo>()
