+ASP.NET Core Sample
+===================
+
+This sample contains 4 projects which demonstrate a simple plugin scenario.
+
+1. 'Abstractions' defines common interfaces shared by the web application (host) and plugins
+2. 'MainWebApp' is an ASP.NET Core application which scans for a 'plugins' folder in its base directory and attempts to load any plugins it finds
+3. 'WebAppPlugin1' references 'Abstractions' and implements `IWebPlugin`. This plugin has a dependency on [AutoMapper](https://www.nuget.org/packages/AutoMapper/) version 6.
+4. 'WebAppPlugin2' is the same as plugin1, but it uses AutoMapper version 7.
+
+Normally, in .NET Core applications you cannot reference two different versions of the same assembly.
+However, as this sample demonstrates, using .NET Core plugins you can load and use two different versions.
+
+* http://localhost:5000/plugin/v1 responds with
+```
+This plugin uses AutoMapper, Version=6.2.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=be96cd2c38ef1005
+```
+
+* http://localhost:5000/plugin/v2 responds with
+```
+This plugin uses AutoMapper, Version=7.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=be96cd2c38ef1005
+```
+
+There are some important types, however, which much share the same identity between the plugins and the host.
+To ensure type exchnage works between the host and the plugins, the MainWebApp project uses the `sharedTypes`
+parameter on `PluginLoader.CreateFromConfigFile`.
+
+```csharp
+    var loader = PluginLoader.CreateFromConfigFile(pluginFile,
+        sharedTypes: new[]
+        {
+            typeof(IApplicationBuilder),
+            typeof(IWebPlugin),
+            typeof(IServiceCollection),
+        });
+```
+
+This is important because the plugins in this sample are compiled for ASP.NET Core 2.0 interfaces,
+but the MainWebApp uses ASP.NET Core 2.1. If not for this parameter, the plugins would also attempt to use
+a private copy of the ASP.NET Core implementations and type exchange between the plugin and the web app
+would fail to resolve `IApplicationBuilder` and `IServiceCollection` as the same type.
