Is MEF or MEF2 baked into the .NET Framework?


I am trying to understand MEF and I am seeing references to MEF and MEF 2.

This site lists MEF2 as being much faster than MEF (4.0).

I need to understand what I am talking about when most people say MEF.

So which is in the .NET Framework 4.5? MEF or MEF2?


Solution

  • Well to make it even more confusing Microsoft released three versions of MEF using two only unique names: MEF and MEF2

    The benchmark site refers to lightweight MEF2 System.Compostion.* from Microsoft.Composition package.
