c# - Unloading a dll file in mef

I have some plugins as dll files. My application loads the dll and it runs fine. but when I try to delete the old plugin and replace it with a new plugin it doesn't allow to do me. as it has been loaded by application. I have found that by using appdomain we can do that. but I am not able to find a solution in which mef is used.

I need a code which can run on mef. Below is my code which is used to load plugins.

//Creating an instance of aggregate catalog. It aggregates other catalogs
var aggregateCatalog = new AggregateCatalog();

//Build the directory path where the parts will be available
var directoryPath = "Path to plugins folder";

//Load parts from the available dlls in the specified path using the directory catalog
var directoryCatalog = new DirectoryCatalog(directoryPath, "*.dll");

//Add to the aggregate catalog
aggregateCatalog.Catalogs.Add(directoryCatalog);

//Crete the composition container
var container = new CompositionContainer(aggregateCatalog);


// Composable parts are created here i.e. the Import and Export components assembles here
container.ComposeParts(this);

Unfortunately, this is not supported by MEF. MEF was designed specifically for application extensibility, not as a general purpose plugin system which supports unloading and replacement of code at runtime.

The only way to make this work would be to use MEF within a separate AppDomain, and unload the AppDomain as a whole. The CLR itself has no support for unloading a loaded assembly other than unloading the entire AppDomain in which the assembly is opened.
