摘要： In a composition model for large-scale extensible applications, applications are constructed in a modular fashion. The modules integrate with each other by producing and consuming functionality that conforms to a common definition. Producer modules and consumer modules are kept independent of one another, and are linked together indirectly via a definition module. .NET attributes are used to identify various code artifacts (such as classes, methods, properties, etc.) as being functionality definitions, productions, and/or consumptions. These attributes are examined by the module loader and used to create relationships between individually installed producer and consumer modules. The consumer uses .NET attributes to declare dependency on functionality and filter out implementations that don't meet the criteria specified by those attributes.

摘要： Facilitating generic database editing to allow for data to be received from a user for entry into a database without requiring the data to conform to schema constraints for the database. A method includes examining a first schema for a first database. The first schema including a first set of constraints specified in the first schema on data to be entered into the first database. The method further includes, based on the examination, constructing a second database corresponding to the first database. The second database is associated with a second schema with a second set of constraints. The second set of constraints is a relaxed version of the first set of constraints specified in the first schema.

摘要： Component domains used to define a binding between various components associated with the component domain. The component domain tracks the various services to be imported by each component, and tracks the various services exported by each component. At runtime, rather than at compile time, the various interrelations between the components are bound using the service import and export data. Accordingly, depending on the components available and their characteristics, the bindings may differ. This permits applications to be much more flexible. In one implementation, the binding is performed iteratively. For example, if after one iteration of binding service imports to service exports, some components may expand the services that they export, or the services that they desire to import.

摘要： The display in a scrollable window of large data sets, which is not loaded into memory all at one time. Rather, a control module manages the scrollable window by repeatedly estimating data ranges of the data set that are to be either presently displayed or that may soon be displayed in the scrollable window. In response to each of at least some of such estimations, the estimated data ranges are then loaded into memory without loading the entire data set into memory. At least portions of the loaded data may then be displayed in the scrollable window. If the scrollable window is scrolled to a particular portion of the data set, but that portion of the data set is not yet loaded into memory, scrolling is permitted to that area even though the actual data is populated into the window after loading.

摘要翻译： 大型数据集的可滚动窗口中的显示，一次不会被加载到内存中。 相反，控制模块通过重复地估计要在当前显示的数据集或可以在可滚动窗口中即将显示的数据集的数据范围来管理可滚动窗口。 响应于至少一些这样的估计中的每一个，估计的数据范围然后被加载到存储器中，而不将整个数据集加载到存储器中。 加载的数据的至少部分然后可以显示在可滚动窗口中。 如果可滚动窗口滚动到数据集的特定部分，但是数据集的该部分尚未加载到存储器中，即使在加载后将实际数据填充到窗口中，也允许滚动到该区域。

摘要： Digital shadowing when rendering visual items (e.g., windows) at different virtual display levels (such as z-order levels). The rendering is based on the determination of a position and virtual display level for each of the visual items to be displayed. For those visual items that cast a shadow on lower-level in-shadow visual items, the determined position of the shadow-casting visual item is used to render the shadow on each of the in-shadow visual items differently depending on the corresponding virtual display level of the in-shadow visual items. In particular, the in-shadow visual item that has a lower virtual display level has a longer shadow cast by the shadow-casting visual item than those in-shadow visual items that have a higher virtual display level. This allows the shadows to have a more natural look.

摘要： A computer software construct has a plurality of components and is built based on an architecture designed for the construct. The architecture includes a number of partitions and dependency rules, where each partition is for having at least one component associated therewith. Each dependency rule specifies whether a component of one partition may refer to any component of another partition. The method enforces the dependency rules of the architecture on each component of the construct as built. A command is received to build a particular component of the software construct based on corresponding build instructions, and the dependency rules are also received. Thereafter, it is determined whether the particular component of a particular partition violates any dependency rule by improperly referring to another component of another partition. The particular component of the software construct is built only if the particular component violates none of the dependency rules.
