anyone using prism is probably familar with the bootstrapper, the documentation defines the bootstrapper as a class responsible for initialization of an application built using Prism and if you dig into the code for it you will see lots of virtual methods that you can override when setting up your application, one of those is the CreateModuleCatalog(). There are several ways to initialize your modules but using an xaml file is incredibly convenient especially if you only want certain parts of your application to load under certain conditions. Where I work we recently decided to employ this feature so that we could load a subset of the application in the warehouse and not have the sales and other modules loading up at run time, on the flip side the warehouse module doesn't load when the sales team loads the application. The great part for the developer is you don't end up with multiple code bases, your core and infrastructure is shared in one application and different people see

Certain times you are going to need to move things to some sort output directory after they are built, for whatever reason - maybe your program is looking for a list of modules that it will load when it fires up (you can do this with prism)? It's easy to do, just go to the "Properties" for your project and select "Build Events". in the box titled "Post-Build event command line" enter your xcopy command. Somthing like this. xcopy "$(TargetDir)PARTSFinderModule.dll" "$(SolutionDir)\MyProject\bin\$(PlatformName)\$(ConfigurationName)\DirectoryModules" /Y That's it.
