I would like to implement a Plug-In framework for a C# application; such that the application doesn’t need to know of all of the available .DLL’s at time of compilation but can then be dynamically linked at run time. I expect that I will need to setup some expected parameters to pass information in and out of Plug-In’s but I’m not really sure of what else is needed or how to go about this in C#. Could you point me to a pattern for this implementation or a framework that I can implement to achieve this (if API’s – Open Source license required)?

    The Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is definitely something you want to take a look at. It’s developed by Microsoft, and the stable release version is included in .NET 4.0 and later.
