Extending Base Application

[Tom C]

Hi all,

In an N-tier app, what is the DOT NET approach for extending an
application at all levels (i.e. DAL, Business Object, Client) for a
customer or module specific deviation without changing the base code.
Inheritance does not seem to be the answer here as the core
application could/should be the same for all customers. Does
extensibility play a role here? Events? How do I add a class to a
namespace in a separate dll that my application can see thru
reflection?

Any help appreciated.

I would build a plug-in system.
