Abstract: Techniques are described herein for coordinating multiple asynchronous postbacks. Each postback specifies a requestor that initiates the postback. A requestor is a request to update a corresponding region of a Web page. Each time a server receives a postback from a client, the server provides a response to the client that includes an update regarding a region of the Web page that corresponds to a requestor that initiates the postback. The response further includes a requestor for each region of the Web page that is to be updated once the response is processed by the client. Upon receipt of each response from the server, the client provides a postback to the server. The client and server may continue to communicate in this manner until all regions of the Web page that are to be updated have been updated.

Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for automatically assigning data bindings to data sources and data sets in the design surface of visual designers. A user selection is received to insert a data element into a data region on a design surface. When there is just one data source and one data set defined in the design surface, a list of fields from the one data set is displayed in a user-selectable list, and the data set is automatically assigned to the data element based upon the selected field. As the user interacts with the design surface to insert additional data elements, the additional data elements are automatically assigned to the previously-utilized data source and data set, and a list of fields from the automatically assigned data set is displayed in a user-selectable list. This saves the user from having to select a desired data set and desired data source.

Abstract: The debugging of breakpoints on pluggable components is provided. In a computing environment having extensible, pluggable components, systems and methods are provided to allow for the setting of breakpoints at various points in the run-time of the components such that errors may be observed, tracked, and resolved. In an illustrative implementation, a computing environment comprises a client, runtime, and tasks. In operation, the client communicates with the runtime and the tasks to perform debugging operations. The task sets breakpoints which are communicated to the client through the runtime. When a breakpoint is encountered the task is suspended such that the client can perform debugging should there be a problem in the task execution. Upon satisfaction, the client resumes the task operations through the runtime.
