Thanks Jan, the extension works great, saves lots of time, as can you believe it, the people keep changing their minds on the décor.

Jan,
Don't know why I didn't review this extension before, but this is fantastic. Microsoft should bake this into the next build if not the current one.

Thank you sir!

Keith

I'm having a though time "selling" EME to the citizen developer, but I'm glad pro devs like yourself save time with it!!
Keep rocking LS

Jan thanks for this great extension. I am looking forward to dig into the code as it looks like you have gutted LightSwitch composition and I want to see the inside :-). Thank again great concept, implementation and contribution.

P.S. Mojo is a killer

PS: going to try and use updated pictures of Mojo in my new articles :-) Love him, thank you!

    Composition

      I start a new discussion because for some strange reason I cannot reply to a discussion I started.
My question has to do with composition. When I was looking forward to read your code (which I did) I was hoping to see how one can use lightswitch and composition with his own contracts/interfaces (like IThemeExporter). I have tried using my own contracts with Import/Export attributes but somehow composition  seems to ignore my contracts. I have ended up believing that somehow you have to "register" your contracts with MEF to achieve this, and I was expecting to see this in your solution, but I don't see anything like that. If you have any light to shed...

      Hey Kostas,
I'm a bit unsure about what you mean.  I opened a discussion & copy-pasted your question there (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/lsextensibility/thread/2e52941d-6d66-460c-bbfc-4555546f181b )  Could you please give a little bit more infoabout what you are trying to do? :-)

      Kostas, finally figured out your question... Better late then never :-)

      In your wordpress article you say you will post the code soon. I hope it's still true as this is what I meant in my Review regarding the code
