the ‘bee log

Reading Chris Donnan’s blog during the morning cup I read about the CLR Add-In model in the .NET Framework around Orcas. Thought I’d toss one into the echo chamber as I have a tendency to harp on about extensibility and plug-in frameworks. You can learn about it here and here.

I wonder if p&p’s ObjectBuilder has influenced the design of this. I might be jumping the gun, but it looks like Dependency Injection will be a first class facility of the framework, another pattern made implicit.

How robust will it be? Will there be ObjectBuilder-style support for policies and strategies used for use in complex object graph build-up? Good to see that extensions are loaded in separate AppDomains with sandboxed security (a necessity for applications with third party add-ins).

Questions abound. An exciting new feature to check out for sure…
