Remarks

When using an indirect reference to a part via a Lazy<T> object, the Value property always returns a reference to the same object. In some circumstances, this is not desirable, and you would like each reference to result in the creation of a new object. ExportFactory<T> is designed for those scenarios.

ExportFactory<T> can be used in a similar fashion to Lazy<T> when creating attributed parts. That is, an import contract defined on ExportFactory<T> with a generic parameter of T will match an export defined on T. For example, the follow export and import match:

[Export]
public String myData = "Example Data.";

[Import]
public ExportFactory<String> theData { get; set; }

<Export()>
Public myData As String = "Example Data."

<Import()>
Public Property theData As ExportFactory(Of String)

The value returned from the CreateExport method is an ExportLifetimeContext<T> object, which has two pieces. The Value property provide access to the created part. Calling the Dispose method of the ExportLifetimeContext<T> object will clean up the created part and all of its dependencies, allowing its lifetime to be managed without reference to the container that created it.
