About this project

This library enables you to build plugins and load them into your application with a handy service.

Building a plugin

To build a plugin, create a project for your plugin and a project with the plugin interface.

Code in Common.dll

public interface IPlugin {
	string Foo();

}

Code in Plugin.dll

public class Plugin1 : IPlugin {
	public string Foo() {
		return "Hello from Plugin 1";
	}

}

Code in Application.exe

var service = new PluginService<IPlugin>(); 
service.LoadPlugins("PathToPlugins", "*Plugin*.dll", X509Certificate2.CreateFromCertFile("PathToCerFileWithoutPrivateKey")));

foreach (var plugin in service.LoadedPlugins) {
	Debug.WriteLine(plugin.Foo());
}

Security checks

If you specify a public certificate, the plugins will be checked if they are signed by the same certificate. If you pass NULL, the signature is not checked and the plugin is loaded anyway.

Search Pattern

If you don't specify a search pattern, all dll files are checked for plugins in the given directory.
