I am looking for a .NET Compact plugin or extension framework similar to the full framework Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) provided by MS Patterns and Practices.
It is to be used to dynamically and generically load and manage assemblies that will provide both hardware capabilities as well as user feature modules to the client application.
Anyone know of anything?
What are you after that, say, a Dependency Injection framework like the OpenNETCF IoC framework wouldn't provide? A DI framework provides extremely loose coupling (components are loaded via reflection), a dynamic mechanism for loading assemblies (loaded via XML file, though that behavior can be overridden), and objects are typically discoverable though one or more object collections.
Whether these items are user or hardware features would be completely up to you and how they are written.
