摘要： The invention includes an architecture in which components associate their design time functionality independent of a design tool. The design time functionality includes code generators, compilers, parsers and editors. The architecture includes interfaces for components and designers to communicate. The architecture includes attributes in metadata that describe the functionality associated with the instance of a component.

摘要： The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for discovering, qualifying, and activating software add-in components. An add-in components manager discovers one or more add-in components at the computer system are of a specified type of add-in component requested by an application. The add-in component manager qualifies at least one discovered add-in component based on the at least one discovered add-in component satisfying one or more qualification constraints. The one or more qualification constraints are representative of functionality that is to be associated with an add-in component for the add-in component to interoperate with the application in a desired manner. The add-in component manager activates a qualified add-in component in accordance with the one or more qualification constraints for use with the application.

摘要翻译： 本发明扩展到用于发现，限定和激活软件加载项组件的方法，系统和计算机程序产品。 附加组件管理器发现计算机系统上的一个或多个附加组件是应用程序请求的指定类型的加载项组件。 所述加载项组件管理器基于满足一个或多个限定约束的所述至少一个发现的加载项组件来限定至少一个发现的加载项组件。 一个或多个限定条件是表示与加载项组件的附加组件相关联的功能，以便以期望的方式与应用程序进行互操作。 加载项组件管理器根据与应用程序一起使用的一个或多个限定约束激活一个合格的加载项组件。
