找到了解决方案:
好的,据我所知,您不能在 MEF 元数据中使用图像或图标。但是,您可以为 DLL 文件分配一个图标,就像您可以为 EXE 文件分配一个图标一样。然后可以使用 .NET 的 Icon 类型中内置的静态方法读取图标:
Icon MyDLLIcon = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(DLLFilePath);
我仍然不确定为什么可以从资源文件中返回字符串作为 MEF 元数据,而不是嵌入的图标或图像。
由于几天来我一直在尝试拼凑一个提供带有图标的插件菜单的功能示例程序,因此我想我会发布代码以防它对其他人有所帮助。
这是一个功能齐全的示例项目,具有以下功能:
旨在成为具有 5 个项目(MainProgram、ContractInterfaces、PlugInA、PlugInB、PlugInC)的单一解决方案
Post Build Events 将自动将每个项目中的 DLL 复制到一个通用的“插件”文件夹中
MainProgram (WinForm) 项目将构建可用 DLL 插件的目录,并使用每个插件的图标和元数据标题填充 ListView
双击 ListView 项将实例化插件(利用延迟实例化),然后启动它。
每个插件在启动时都会收到对主窗体的引用,创建一个新的文本框,并将其发布到主窗体以证明它已运行并可以访问 GUI。
所选插件的标题、描述和版本元数据值将打印到控制台窗口
我为每个 DLL 分配了一个不同的图标(来自旧的 Visual Studio 6 Common Graphics Misc 文件夹)
从 DLL 插件中提取图标以创建 ListView,并且一旦启动(在双击 ListView 中的每个插件项之后),DLL 就会创建文本框并将其发布到 GUI。
将以下代码添加到名为“MainProgram”的全新 C# WinForm 项目中(我使用的是 VS 2010):
出于某种原因,代码示例解析器不喜欢 Using 语句,所以这里将它们作为要点:
- 使用系统;
- 使用 System.Collections.Generic;
- 使用 System.ComponentModel.Composition;
- 使用 System.ComponentModel.Composition.Hosting;
- 使用 System.Drawing;
- 使用 System.IO;
- 使用 System.Windows.Forms;
- 使用合同接口;
- (命名空间)主程序

ImgList.ImageSize = new Size(32, 32);
// Populate ImageList with Plug-In Icons
foreach (var item in AvailablePlugIns)
{
ImgList.Images.Add(item.PlugInIcon.ToBitmap());
}
// Assign the ImageList to the ListView
listView1.LargeImageList = ImgList;
int imageIndex = 0;
// Create the ListView items
foreach (var item in AvailablePlugIns)

现在向主窗体添加一个名为“listView1”的 ListView 控件,并将其保留在窗体的右侧。从插件动态创建的文本框将显示在左侧。
接下来添加一个名为“ContractInterfaces”的类项目,然后包含以下代码:
- 使用 System.Windows.Forms;

public interface IPlugIn
{
void StartPlugIn(Form mainForm);
}
public interface IPlugInMetadata
{
string PlugInTitle { get; }
string PlugInDescription { get; }
string PlugInVersion { get; }
}
接下来添加一个名为“PlugInA”的类项目,然后包含以下代码:
- 使用系统;
- 使用 System.ComponentModel.Composition;

解决方案应如下所示:
右键单击解决方案,然后选择“项目依赖项...”。设置依赖项如下:
- MainProgram - 取决于 - ContractInterface
- PlugInA - 取决于 - ContractInterface
- PlugInB - 取决于 - ContractInterface
- PlugInC - 取决于 - ContractInterface
- ContractInterface - 取决于 - [无]
右键单击解决方案,然后选择“项目构建顺序...”。构建顺序应如下所示:
- 合同界面
- 插件A
- 插件B
- 插件
- 主程序
构建并运行程序。您应该会看到 3 个 DLL 文件已复制到与解决方案文件 (*.sln) 位于同一目录级别的新“插件”文件夹中。如果没有,请检查项目构建顺序、依赖关系,以及您是否根据上面插件代码中的注释输入了构建后事件。如果文件在那里,那么 ListView 应该在表单中填充插件条目。双击每个 ListView 条目以启动插件。
玩得开心,我希望这对某人有帮助......
