Patent number: 9672276Abstract: A multi-act creation user interface element that is displayed when a user instructs a computing system to initiate creation of a resource that has multiple associated creation processing acts. For each of some or all of the creation processing acts, the multi-act creation user interface element causes a set of one or more controls to appear, which the user may then enter creation information into. The multi-step creation user interface element persists creation information so entered so that the creation information is available for further creation processing acts.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2014Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Leon Ezequiel Welicki, Brad Olenick, Vishal R. Joshi, Andrew Birck, Alvaro Rahul Dias, Guru Kumaraguru, Federico Silva Armas, Stephen Michael Danton, Brendyn Alexander, David Anson, Jean-Sebastien Guopil, Bradley D.

Publication number: 20150095849Abstract: Dialogs within a user interface. The user interface has one or more selectable elements, the selection of each of which initiating a corresponding action. Each time that any of the elements is selected, and a corresponding action initiated, there is the potential for the user interface to display a dialog associated with the initiated action. The dialogs are displayed so as to be positioned with respect to the element whose selection caused the corresponding action to be initiated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Stephen Michael Danton, Adam Mohamed Abdelhamed, Bradley D.

Publication number: 20150095365Abstract: A query building mechanism in which a query builder component assists a user in generating queries to be used to populate user interface elements. A control provides a query schema to the query builder component. The query schema identifies available query parameters that the control is capable of using to populate a corresponding user interface element. The query builder component presents at least some of the available query parameters the user, such that the user may edit these parameters. The query builder component gathers those edits and generates a query therefrom. The query parameters may be provided to the query builder component in consistent manner across a wide variety of possible user interface controls. Furthermore, the resulting query is provided in a uniform query format.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Brad Olenick, Leon Ezequiel Welicki, Timothy Michael McBride, Federico Silva Armas, Jonathan Lucero, Nafisa Bhojawala, David Anson, Kristofer John Owens, Andrew Birck, Vishal R.

Patent number: 7890604Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for client-side callbacks to server events in which a Web server receives a message indicating a client-side event. The client-side event is associated with a specific component of a client resource, the specific component being one of multiple static components of the client resource. A server-side component generates a response to the received message and implements at least a subset of logic of the specific component. In generating the response to the message, server-side logic corresponding to other static components that are different than the specific component are not used.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2004Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorproationInventors: Bradley D. Millington, Andrew Cheng-Min Lin, Nikhil Kothari

Patent number: 7624114Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for creating Web forms with automatically generated links. A database mapping for a database is accessed. One or more dynamic queries for querying a database are automatically formulated. The dynamic queries are included in an automatically generated Web site for the database in accordance with the database mapping. User-selected links are also included for executed the dynamic queries. Selection of a link causes a corresponding dynamic query to execute. Relationships between tables in a database can be inferred even when a relationship is not expressly described in schema describing the database. Dynamic queries can be any of sorting, pagination, addition, deletion, and modification queries.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2006Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Polita Mila Paulus, Bradley D. Millington, Kashif Alam, Scott David Guthrie, Shanku Shivabrata Niyogi, Brian Matthew Goldfarb, Matthew E. Gibbs, Andres Sanabria

Patent number: 6944797Abstract: A method of collecting runtime information for an application in a computing system includes locating trace statements in a source code of the application, collecting information regarding the trace statements, and outputting the information for use by a user. A system for collecting runtime information for an application in a computing system includes a locate module, a collect module, and an output module. The locate module locates trace statements in a source code of an application. The collect module collects information regarding the trace statements. The output module outputs the information for use by a user.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2001Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Scott D.

Publication number: 20040236824Abstract: Systems and methods for post-cache substitution. To include dynamic content in a response to a client request, a substitution block is inserted in the cached content. When the cached content is written as the response to the client, a delegate associated with the substitution block is invoked to generate the dynamic content. Each time the content is requested the delegate is invoked and the content served in the response to the client request includes dynamic content that could be different from one client request to the next client request for the cached content.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2003Publication date: November 25, 2004Inventors: Bradley D.
