      I have managed to setup a project with MEF with Silverlight using the Silverlight SDK. I would like to do exactly the same but with a WPF application.

      Unfortunately the .net assemblies that come with vs2010 Beta 2 do not include System.ComponentModel.Composition.Initialization.dll. When I try to use the DLLs from the Silverlight SDK in a WPF application I get a System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException.

      Does anyone know where I can download System.ComponentModel.Composition.Initialization.dll for non Silverlight applications in .Net 4.0?

      Thanks...

      Nigel...

      Hallo Everyone,

      Just in case someone else has this problem the solution was to create the container by hand:

          public Test()
              {
                  InitializeMef();

              }

              private void InitializeMef()
              {
                  DirectoryCatalog directoryCatalog = new DirectoryCatalog(@".");
                  CompositionBatch batch = new CompositionBatch();
                  batch.AddPart(this);
                  CompositionContainer container = new CompositionContainer(directoryCatalog);
                  container.Compose(batch);
              }
