Abstract: A multi-language component management system allows users to create and reuse reusable components in various supported languages for a desired state configuration system. The system manages creation and construction of reusable multi-language components. The system may receive a request to create an instance of a component in a first configuration language. The request may include input parameters for creating the instance. The component may be authored in a second configuration language different from the first configuration language and may include resources such as child components that depend on the component. The system may generate output properties containing information for generating the plurality of resources. The system may recursively construct the child components that depend on the component, which may in turn result in construction of additional resources. In response to the dependency of the component is resolved, the system outputs a set of completely resolved output properties.

Abstract: Architecture that includes an asynchronous library which remembers the synchronization context that initiated an asynchronous method call and when the request is completed, the library restores the synchronization context of the calling thread before executing a callback. This ensures that the callback executes on the same thread as the original asynchronous request. The callback to the asynchronous operation that asynchronous library provides automatically “jumps threads” to maintain thread affinity.

Abstract: Static type checking is performed against external data sources in an interacting editing environment. A rich editing experience can be provided to users for external data equivalent to that provided for internal static, typed data. An extensible compiler is provided so that a user or third party can extend type checking facilities to any external data source. An extensible language service is provided so that a user or third party can extend the language service to provide a consistent, current static view of external data. The extensible compiler and language service allow language extensions to plug into the type checking process. This enables the compiler and language service to provide an extension point that allows extensions of the compiler and allow the language service to render dynamic information statically.

Abstract: The utilization of data services (such as web services) may involve the invocation of services, which may reduce performance and overburden the server. In some scenarios, the invocation may be specified in a language that does not support batch invocation, but it may not be feasible to re-code the invocations in a language that supports batching. Instead, the service invocations may be automatically translated into a batch logic specified in a batch-capable language and sent to the service as a batch. For example, a local proxy may receive a language-integrated query having two or more service invocations, compile the query into an expression tree including the two or more invocations, and send the expression tree to the service host to achieve the batch processing of the service invocations.
