prism

Hi all ,

I need your advice deciding on a new project architecture I'm going to implement.

Can I use MEF and Prism side by side?

Is it too complex to accomplish this?

Can make the same stuff Prism does with MEF?

Right now, two features Prism gives, but are not in MEF are Regions and the Event Aggregator. Can I do everything else with MEF, rather than Prism?

Thanks in advance ...
