Hi,

is it possible to create kind of widgets that are pluggable in ASP.NET MVC? I'd like to give my users the option to upload and attach a widget that I provide (ie. zip format). Recently I thought about deploying Areas in different project assemblies. Is it still possible with MVC RC2 (later RTM) and is there an option to dynamically attach these areas (say from a admin panel)?

Is my direction correct or should I focus on some other technique?

Thanks, Jakub

That's not right. Other questions don't deal with MVC 2 and dynamically loaded external Areas.

Because Dynamically loaded external areas are not supported out of the box. http://aspnet.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=5073 To do this you'll have to use a different area technique, which are linked to in all three of those questions.
