The [upcoming MSDN](http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/10/default.aspx) magazine will feature this article:

**Plug-Ins: Let Users Add Functionality to Your .NET Applications with Macros and Plug-Ins**
by Jason Clark

Damn. Sounds like my [two articles about plug-ins](http://msdnaa.net/search.aspx?SearchText=Roy&ResourceTypes=all&Mode=Search&Archives=False) in .Net could have been there instead :(   I feel like I could contribute so much. Hey you guys over at MSDN - You could have asked me, I'd have donated my articles for free. Who do I call?
