    Make my application compatible with plugins?

    this is not something I am directly familiar with, and I would like to know how to achieve this in C#, so that if I make an application, 3rd parties could create plugins for it...

    Of course, rather than re-inventing the wheel you could check out Mono.Addins or the Managed Extensibility Framework to provide the plugin backend. All you need to do then is define the various interfaces/extension points that you want people to be able to extend.
