Release Notes

This sample application demonstrates the Composition Provider for ASP.NET MVC 3 included in MEF 2.

Prerequisites:
  • Visual Studio 2010
  • ASP.NET MVC 3 (installed, with developer tools)
  • SQL Server Express (included with Visual Studio)

Important: before the sample can be run, the Entity Framework 4.1 NuGet package needs to be installed into the solution. There are two ways to do this:
  • In Visual Studio: right-click on the FabrikamBooks project, select "Add Library Package Reference", search for "EntityFramework" and install the Entity Framework 4.1 package by Microsoft; or,
  • Using the nuget.exe command line tool: open a command prompt in the \packages folder, execute the command
    • nuget install ..\FabrikamBooks\packages.config

This example requires MVC3, and will not run under MVC4. It would be nice to amend it to run under MVC4.
