For those working in dotNET this may be of interest if you want to create and extensible application via plugins.

Where would I be without Codeproject!

Thanks for the Heads Up there, I'm sure I'm going to need this..... just haven't decided when yet! :D

Gotta agree there - it is one place I visit several times each day :)

Great find Jon! This is just what the doctor ordered for one of my projects.

Thanks Jon indeed, looks very interesting. I guess I could use this in my next project as well :).

Let me know how it works out guys - I am not using it myself at the moment but would like to add plugin capabilities to my tools

I'm going here instead:

It probably has a higher learning curve than a code project plugin, but that's for a reason - it delivers much more. I am not sure if it works in Express though.

You know Lars that may be a good solution also,

However I REALLY hate the way some of those articles are written in Middle Management Bo***cks!

Example:


This guidance provides a flexible and architecturally sound solution to a common enterprise development challenge.


Reminds me of why I quit working in an office!

Gotta agree with you there Alex. I used to run a computer consultancy until I could no longer stand the mumbo jumbo rubbish we spouted to impress the clients :)

I think it depends on level. For me the code project offering is probably right for the type of applilcation I write but I can see that more flexibility might be required in some circumstances. Horses for Courses and personal preference play a big part.

I am probably biased to accept this sentence, because I happen to know it is true despite the elaborate writing.

And no, I am not middle management. :p
