Seems to me it makes more sense to build the functionality into separate assemblies and use them in a plug-in style...

There could be issues. If you have object Foo excluded from the project, then you must be sure you aren't referencing or creating an instance of Foo somewhere else, because the type will no longer be defined. It seems likely that if you have a type Foo, then at some point you are probably using type Foo, so it seems like it might be hard to disentangle a type out of a project, but you would know that better than anyone else.

Exactly what I thought.. It's going to be impossible to judge now, but I can see it being an inevitably truth throughout the development life cycle of this project.

This sounds like a good idea, but I've never, ever attempted such a task. It's always been in thought, but always fell to the wayside after another solution. One that's usually much less complex.

Where should I begin? I'm not even sure of that. I'll do some research myself while I wait for some responds, and if I get there first I'll post what I'm able to accurately gather.
