I am creating an application that imports several plugins. I need the ability to execute functions that are implemented in each of the plugins. For example, I need to do something like this.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
MainApp:
[ImportMany(?)]
public IEnumerable<Lazy<?>> PluginFunctions1 { get; set; }
[ImportMany(?)]
public IEnumerable<Lazy<?>> PluginFunctions2 { get; set; }
foreach (f1 in PluginFunctions1)
{
f1(); // execute Function1 from each plugin
}
foreach (f2 in PluginFunctions2)
{
string result = f2(val); // execute Function2 from each plugin
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Plugin:
[export(?)]
public void Function1()
{
}
[export(?)]
public string Function2(string value)
{
return result;
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Problem is that I am not sure how to define the import & export and how to exactly execute the function.
