So you're basically looking for a plugin-architecture?

If so, here's a good tutorial about that: http://www.divelements.com/net/articles/plugins/plugins.asp.

Actually, there is already a framework, from Microsoft, available. It's called MEF (Managed Extensibility Framework) and can be found here at Codeplex.
