ManagedPluginDescriptor

Overview

The ManagedPluginDescriptor class represents a plugin descriptor of a loaded managed plugin. This class provides access to a plugin metadata such as description or version number. Usualy you will deal with the base PluginDescriptor class instead of accessing ManagedPluginDescriptor directly.

Use Case

Most common case is to use plugin descriptors to get data about plugins, for example:

  moduleManager.LoadModule("MyPlugin.dll");
            
  // list all plugins 
  foreach (PluginDescriptor p in moduleManager.Plugins)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Plugin: {0} Description: {1}", p.Name, p.Description));
  }
