Can you hydrate a static property using MEF?

Question

can I hydrate this inside the class's static constructor?

public class Connect:IDTExtensibility2, IDTCommandTarget
  static Connect()
    {
        //hydrate static properties?
    }
    [Import]
    public static Action<ProjectLogicChecks> Display { get; set; }

[Export(typeof(Action<ProjectLogicChecks>))]
    private static void DisplayResults( CheckProcesses _checkResults)
{
    MessageBox.Show(_checkResults.ProjectLogicCheck.AssemblyName + " has problems=" +
                    _checkResults.ProjectLogicCheck.HasProblems);
}

Answer 1

No, MEF doesn't support static imports.

Answer 2

You can use [ImportingConstructor] and set the static property in the constructor.

private static RandomService Random { get; set; }  
[ImportingConstructor] 
public ClientViewModel(RandomService random)
 {   
 Random = random; 
} 

Just don't set it to a static field.
