ASP Plugin

[GTi]

I'm developing a solution with ASP.NET 2.0 (beta)
I need to create plugin modules into my project.

I have a standard webpage like:
- a header on top
- menu/info bar on the left
- main page that displays information based on the user selection

I need to create a plugin project that inject a extra menu line in the menu
bar on left.
(actual my main project ask the plugins if it want to do this).
When the user press this menu (link) the information is displayed from my
plugin.

All i want to do is to put this plugin.DLL on the right folder on the server
and the plugin is activated. So I need some plugin lookup at the start and
cashe it
This plugin must also have access to all CSS/layout library that my main
project uses.

Any tip how this can be done?

You should look into master pages:
