In this series of posts we are going to compare features of Flex 4 with their counterparts in Silverlight 4. In this first part of the series we're going to take a look at how printing is implemented on both platforms.

A much heard criticism of MEF is that the exports are configured with attributes, so if the exports need to be changed, recompilation of the application is required. In this post I'll show how to extend MEF using Linq to XML in such a way, that the exports can be configured in an external configuration file and the application no longer needs to be recompiled when the exports change.
