A study and design of plug-in framework based on .NET component technology

Most of the current plug-in technology researches and designs focus on the implementation of a single plug-in function, but is lack in support from safety technology and metadata. However, as an open, dynamic running system, plug-in framework requires the infrastructure framework to control the legitimacy of plug-ins, and constrain the implementation of its function. This paper presents a plug-in application framework based on .NET reflection technology and safety technology which has not only complemented and improved current plug-in studies, but also enhanced the effectiveness and practicality of the plug-in framework.
