  • State management of server-side control objects
    Publication number: 20040199577
    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.

  • Databinding using server-side control objects
    Patent number: 6792607
    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.

  • User control objects for providing server-side code generation from a user-defined dynamic web page content file
    Publication number: 20030025728
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to create an intermediate language or source code file from a server-side resource or dynamic web page file using a hierarchically specified set of user controls. 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.

  • Object-oriented framework for hyperlink navigation
    Patent number: 6460058
    Abstract: An object-oriented framework comprises system services, objects, and integration interfaces which unify retrieval and browsing of data among multiple different application programs, document formats, and local and remote data storage sites. The framework provides a hyperlink object which encapsulates general hyperlink navigation functions. The hyperlink object has a moniker which references a hyperlink's target, and a location string which designates a location in the target. The hyperlink object uses the moniker to retrieve the target as an object in the framework, and causes the object to display a view of the target at the location. The framework also provides a browse context object which maintains a navigation stack of navigated hyperlink targets, and allows passing of window and navigation tool bar position information to a frame in which the target is displayed to effect the appearance of window reuse when navigating between frames.

  • Method and system for reconciling sections of documents
    Patent number: 5758358
    Abstract: Reconciliation of corresponding groupings of data for processing by application programs ("sections") which are contained within files ("documents") is performed using history lists. In particular, a section in one document which corresponds to a section in another document is reconciled. Each section has a history list which identifies versions of that section. The reconciliation is performed by using the history lists to compare versions of corresponding sections in order to determine which section has been modified. When one of the corresponding sections has been modified and the other has not been modified, the unmodified section is modified with the other section. When both sections have been modified, then the user is provided with options for reconciling the sections. In addition, when one document has a new section which is not in the other document, the new section is added to the other document.
