I am brand new to MEF and am stuck in "No parameterless constructor defined for this object" hell. I've looked at a lot of posts etc. over the last many hours and am totally stuck. What am I doing wrong? I'm using .NET 4.5, so do I still need all these attributes? Am I mixing older style MEF in with newer?
UPDATE:
The solution I'm working on also references Unity 3.3, so I think they may be stepping on each other. Do I need to remove Unity?
