Thanks for the reply Alex.  I'll have to read up on MEF, I've never heard about it nor do I really understand it.    I did think of another question after reading your comment.  If I have all my tools in the same Solution, and those get built as separate dlls with all their files (config, .addin, etc)  the user would have to enable each addin through the addin manager correct?  Do you use the MEF to avoid this?   

 

So the benefit of using MEF is that you have one addin that you enable through the addin manager but each tool can have its own resources like you said.  Is this correct?  In my case I don't think it is out of the question to enable each tool in the addin manager.  Would you still recommend using MEF in this case?  Thank you!
