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);
