I watched the DNR TV episode with Glenn Block and it looks like MEF would be useful for my company. I am trying to find out more information on it's strengths and weaknesses and some sample projects that use it. Are there any good blogs/tutorials on using MEF?

Note: I use C#, so if the examples are in C#, that would be awesome.

I haven't found a really comprehensive page, but there are a few:

Microsoft Docs

Simple Example from a msdn blog

Code Project's Introduction to MEF (part 1)

MEF 101 part A from Geek with Blogs

MEF 101 part B

Another MSDN blog, a little more history than tutorial
