Publication number: 20110090236Abstract: Graphic object data binding is described. In an embodiment, the display of a graphic object having a visual property is updated when a trigger is received. The graphic object is updated by accessing a record of dependency data to determine a dependency of the visual property on stored source data, and updating the visual property of the graphic object on the display device in accordance with the source data. In another embodiment, a compiler receives source code comprising a statement binding the visual property of the graphic object to the source data. A processor reads the source code, detects the statement, generates a record of dependency data linking the visual property of the graphic object to the source data, stores the record of dependency data, and generates executable code. The executable code is output from the compiler, and can be executed by a computing device to display the graphic object.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2009Publication date: April 21, 2011Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Martin Calsyn, Alexander Brändle, Drew Purves
