  • Extensible Metadata
    Publication number: 20070198972
    Abstract: Systems and methods for extensible metadata are described. In one aspect, source code is compiled to generate an assembly. During assembly generating operations, metadata and extensible metadata is emitted into the assembly. The extensible metadata describes standard and non-standard metadata that presents an extension to the standard metadata.

  • Strategy for selectively making non-public resources of one assembly visible to another
    Publication number: 20050188346
    Abstract: A strategy is described for associating an InternalsVisibleTo (IVT) attribute with a non-public resource of a first assembly. The IVT attribute names a second assembly. By virtue of the IVT attribute, during runtime, the non-public resource in the first assembly is made visible to the second assembly. In addition to naming the second assembly, the IVT attribute can include a number of optional arguments, such as arguments which specify the version, culture, and public key token associated with the second assembly.

  • Strategy for referencing code resources
    Publication number: 20050102649
    Abstract: A strategy is described for assisting a supplier in updating code without negatively impacting preexisting applications that may interact with the original or updated code. In this strategy, a resource is transferred from a first code module to a second code module. So that the applications that utilize the resource can continue to access this resource, the strategy adds forwarding information to a new version of the first code module. The forwarding information provides a note which shows the Common Language Runtime (CLR) where to find the specified resource when the code modules are executed.

  • Method and system for program editing
    Publication number: 20050034109
    Abstract: A system and method of providing edit and continue support in a software program debugging environment. “Edit and continue” support allows a user (e.g., programmer and/or developer) to update the code and/or data structure(s) of an executing program while it is running. After the user has finished editing their code and resumes execution, an integrated development environment (IDE) propagates the edit(s) into a common language runtime (CLR) environment before continuing. Therefore, from the CLR environment's perspective, an edit is a block of intermediate language code (IL) and/or metadata that is inserted into a running process. The IDE can facilitate: determining “legality” of an edit; building the edit; sending the edit to the CLR environment; and/or, facilitating the CLR environment switch execution to the edited code.

  • Virtual method protection
    Publication number: 20050015753
    Abstract: Performing validation of a derived virtual method includes receiving program code where the derived virtual method is derived from a virtual method of the program language used to generate the program code, compiling the program code to an intermediate language expression, generating metadata descriptive of the compiled program code, validating the use of the derived virtual method by accessing the metadata, and permitting the use of the derived virtual method if the metadata grants override permissions concerning the virtual method of the programming language. The metadata indicating access and override permissions may be generated while compiling the program code in the common language infrastructure. Alternately, the flag may use pre-existing values indicative of the access and override permissions concerning the virtual method of the programming language.

  • Method for communicating signaling messages through a broadband network
    Patent number: 6449263
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for communicating signaling messages associated with a communication system whereby a network within the communications system is responsible for setting up a signaling path between users of the communication system. However, once that signaling path is established by the network, the users may communicate with each other whereby the network is not needed to pass data between the users thereby substantially decreasing demand on the network and freeing it for other system functions.

  • Method and system for multicast using a satellite network
    Patent number: 6307861
    Abstract: A multicast message is transmitted from an originating subscriber unit (110, FIG. 1) through a network of satellite communications nodes (120, 130, and 140) to a plurality of receiving subscriber units (150, 160, and 170). Each message is distributed through the network of satellite communications nodes (120, 130, and 140) and replicated at the node nearest to the receiving subscriber unit. Receiving subscriber units (150, 160, and 170) are mapped into geographic cells which allows a single multicast transmission to be transmitted from the satellite communications node to those subscriber units within the same geographic cell. Multicast groups and membership rules are established by the originating subscriber unit (110) through a service provider (180). A multicast session manager (185) manages the multicast session.

  • Computer disk management system using doublet A-B logging
    Patent number: 6298425
    Abstract: Updating a single block of metadata is optimized into a single I/O operation. Resilience against single block failure and system crashes with a single or less than three I/O operations is provided. The present invention method and apparatus stores two copies of the metadata in two areas on disk. Each individual block of metadata in each area is duplicated as a doublet. The doublet provides two copies of a subject block to be written to disk as a single I/O. This enables metadata to survive a single block failure since such a failure only affects half of the doublet. Further, each block of metadata has header information including an indication of transaction and a part count. A transaction is not deemed committed until corresponding blocks of all parts are found.

  • Method and system for multilayer service management
    Patent number: 6289201
    Abstract: Methods (400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900) and a multi-layer service management system (300) enable mutilayer service management in a global network environment in a communication system (100) which includes a core network (230) and multiple Distributed Virtual Network Segments (DVNSs) (240). The system (300) includes a network service manager (315) capable of managing a set of services for operating the core network, DVNS service managers (DVNSMs) (345, 347) residing within a core side (340) and a product side (335) of each item of DVNS equipment (330) for managing a first and second set of services associated with the DVNS and also a set of value added services (352) provided through the DVNS equipment (330), and a processor/server 385 residing within customer premises equipment (CPE) (370) for enabling provision of value added services to the CPE.
