I want to develop plug in concept in my work. First time I want to build a program and after it I only add few plug in dll to make better my work without touching my main program. But i am unable to implement it.

Please help me.

I give you my little idea. a small *.exe has three textfield , comboBox & one button. One plug in has add function, another has subtract method.

So, first that *.exe will consider them that those(*.dll) are extend part of them, and load them. then choosing the method in comboBox the operation will executed, (add,subtract etc).

That's the idea but I can't do anything.

Please share me your Idea.

Plug in concept will help every one for better project implementation.

Thank you in advance.

Did you search the articles in this website for articles about plugins? I did, and I found one article.

Did you search the MSDN, as in:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US?query=plugins&ac=1

I searched and found an article "C# 2.0: Loading plugins at run-time using late binding".

I am not sure of the details of how to do it, but I think you can define an interface that each plugin uses.
