How to add only executing assembly in CompositionContainer without add AssemblyCatalog

Good day.

I need to be added executing assembly in CompositionContainer (MEF) without add AssemblyCatalog. Since this assembly has 20 reference on other project.

At now, I'm use next solution:

AssemblyCatalog asCatalog = new AssemblyCatalog(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
AggregateCatalog agCatalog = new AggregateCatalog();
agCatalog.Catalogs.Add(asCatalog);

Thanks for help.

Solution

  • After watching the source code MEF, the issue resolved itself. AssemblyCatalog imports only the specified assembly.
