The Simple Plugins Framework for .Net

Features

• Easily make existing .Net applications pluggable with a few lines of code and zero app domain knowledge.
• Write new pluggable .Net applications with a few lines of code and give plugin developers a simple API to work on that requires zero app domain knowledge.
• Isolation of plugins in their own App Domains, Automatic Loading and Unloading of App Domains, Dependant Assembly Resolution, Shadow Copy Support and much more.
• Prevent unhandled exceptions in plugins from crashing your app and prevent such exceptions from leaking app domains and causing unexpected behaviour in your pluggable application.
• Define whether plugins can execute synchronously, asynchronously and specify whether plugins need to run exclusively.
• Supports any type of plugin. GUI, Non-GUI etc. Supports plugins in the form of dynamic link libraries or executable files.
• Keep track of loaded plugins. Be aware of each plugin's state and take actions (cancel plugin loading, customize app domain setup, etc) through numerous events exposed by the Plugin Loader.
• Pass parameters to plugins and process their returned results seamlessly without having to worry about app domain logic.
• Allow an app.config file per each plugin.
• Not satisfied with the provided plugin or loader functionality? Easily write your own plugin class and define your own plugin loader by extending the provided classes.
