Is there any chance that there will be a MEF subset that will work with Silverlight?  Obviously the Directory Watching Resolver and similar parts would not work, but keeping our Silverlight Apps loosely coupled and similar in design to our desktop apps would be desirable.<br>© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

As far as concrete shape, applicable scenarios and delivery vehicle and timeframe - this is still being discussed - so any suggestions or examples on how you would expect it to work for your scenario are most welcome!<br><br>Thanks,<br>Alex<hr size="1" align="left" width="25%">Alex Bulankou, Microsoft Corporation.
