Abstract
A system and method for facilitating execution of multiple assemblies in a framework, in which the assemblies use a component external to the framework, is provided. A runtime manager may retrieve metadata from each of the assemblies, and selectively insert the metadata into a unified types object, so that metadata corresponding to equivalent type definitions is shared. When each assembly is executed, the combined metadata may be used to invoke or otherwise interact with the external component.
