Appl. No.:

08/885672

Inventors:

Mark Anders - Bellevue WA

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709231, 709316

Abstract:

In a computer environment, a new storage and delivery data format for multimedia object sets increases performance and improves the user experience by reducing the transactions needed to retrieve a set of n objects from n to 1. The object data is interleaved with data definition entries identifying respective object data into a data format comprising a single stream for storage and/or delivery. The data format eliminates the need for multiple, asynchronous transactions thus reducing latency in the data transfer process. Moreover, the data format allows for optimization of how the object data is prioritized and interleaved to achieve desired performance objectives upon delivery of the multimedia objects.

International Classification:

US Classification:

719316, 709203, 719318

Abstract:

The state of one or more server-side control objects is managed using a transportable state structure that is communicated between a web server and a client. The transportable state structure may include state information, hierarchical information, and an integrity code. The state information is related to properties of the server-side control objects. The hierarchical information is used by the server to locate an appropriate server-side control object in the hierarchy into which associated state information is to be loaded. The integrity code allows the server to determine whether the transportable state structure was corrupted during the round-trip between the server and the client. Prior to a response to the client, the state information of one or more server-side control objects is recorded into the transportable state structure for transmission to the client in the response. The transportable state structure is then returned to the server and loaded into the server-side control objects to restore the hierarchy to its previous state.

International Classification:

G06F 954

US Classification:

719316, 719318, 719311, 707102

Abstract:

Server-side control objects corresponding to client-side user interface elements are created in a control object hierarchy. Properties of the control objects may be data bound to properties of a server-side data source (e. g. , a server-side database). Hierarchical data binding relationships are established between properties of control objects and properties of a data source. Template declarations are used to define the configuration of binding container objects that correspond to data objects in the data source. An iterating control object determines the number of data objects in the data source increase according number of binding container objects. A simple data binding types include without limitation: (1) unidirectional data binding from the data source to a control object; (2) unidirectional data binding from a control object to the data source; and (3) bidirectional data binding between a control object and the data source.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709203, 709219, 715513

Abstract:

A server-side control object processes and generates a client-side user interface element for display on a web page. Multiple server-side control objects may be combined into a hierarchy of server-side control objects that cooperate to generate the resulting authoring language code, such as HTML, for display of a web page on a client. The operation of processing the client-side user interface element may include at least one of an event handling operation, a postback data handling operation, a data binding operation, and a state management operation. The state management operation relates to the state of a server-side control object.

US Classification:

717108, 717100, 717107

Abstract:

A method and apparatus to create an intermediate language or source code file from a server-side resource or dynamic web page file. The source code can then be compiled into an executable class allowing for rapid generation of web page control objects that perform server-side functions, including the rendering of client responses. The code generation scheme of the present invention is capable of creating control objects connected in a hierarchy to handle event processing and the setting of attributes to the specific objects.

Abstract:

A network-based distributed application system is provided in accordance with the present invention for enabling services to be established locally on a client system. The system may include an application and presentation logic, at least a portion of which is interchangeably processed by a server or a client without modification to the portion. The core functionality provided by the application may be preserved between the client and the server wherein improved network performance may provided along with improved offline service capabilities.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709229, 709223

Abstract:

One or more server-side control objects provide server-side processing of postback input received from client-side user interface elements in a request from a client. Such input may include without limitation postback data and postback events generated from a web page on a client and received by a server in an HTTP request. A hierarchy of server-side control objects can cooperate to process the postback input and to generate the resulting authoring language code, such as HTML. Server-side events can also result from the server-side processing of postback input. In addition to processing postback input, server-side processing may include, without limitation, state management of server-side control objects and binding data to and from server-side database. After the processing and generating operations, the server-side control object hierarchy is terminated until a subsequent request is received from the client.
