Speaking at Milwaukee Area Silverlight SIG

by Damon Payne 5. June 2011 19:03

Long ago, when Silverlight 2 was new, we had a Silverlight User Group in Milwaukee.

Tuesday, June 7th we are re-launching the Milwaukee Silverlight Special Interested Group.  I will be presenting on the topic "What's new in Silverlight 5".  I would highly suggest attending this meeting if you are a Silverlight or Windows Phone 7 developer or at all interested in these topics.  We will be looking to talk to local developers about what Silverlight topics interest them and will also be recruiting presenters for future meetings.

A location map and registration can be found here:  http://www.wi-ineta.org/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=192 .  I hope to see you there!

MEF for Windows Phone 7

by Damon Payne 1. March 2011 17:45

I wrote a while back about my port of MEF to Windows Phone 7, and apprently didn't make a binary available as I've been getting email and twitter requests for it.

Download it here.

See the original article for detailed notes.  The big points are that dynamic export metadata won't work due to not having Reflection Emit on WP7 and that DeploymentCatalog doesn't really make sense so I excluded System.ComponentModel.Composition.Initialization -  use AssemblyCatalogs instead.

I will be maintaining this so please report any issues.

Why is this not part of MEF Contrib?  Mostly due to some timing issues last year and my own GitHub issues.
