Abstract: User interface state (UI) information (such as UI control values) are stored and revived when the user navigates and returns to an application. When an instance of a page is created, the page registers with a tombstone list and indicates which page state information on the page is to be stored and revived when a user navigates away from the application. When the user provides an input indicating navigation away from the application, the application accesses the tombstone list and stores the UI page state information. UI page state information is stored in a page state dictionary data structure that corresponds to the current instance of the page. Then, when the user navigates back to the application, the application accesses the page state dictionary and restores the values of the UI page state information so that the user interface display is in the same state as when the user navigated away from the application.

Abstract: A Managed Add-in Framework (MAF) proxy generation tool comprises a library analyzer module operable for taking as input either a type library or managed software code assembly of the existing host application, and a proxy code generation module. Also, an additional input XML file that describes changes that a user would like to be made may be received by the tool and data acquired form the inspection of the additional input XML file and the inspection of the other inputs is merged and used to create the code of the proxy to the host object model. The proxy to the host's object model conforms to requirements of the MAF.

Abstract: A managed automation programming model is provided for versioning computing components independently, isolating such components, and dynamically binding them. For example, components such as an application and an and-in are able to version independently of one another, so that disparate versions of these components are still able to communicate—or in the nominal case, the same versions are able to communicate. Moreover, such components are isolated by the managed automation programming model so that they can be disintegrated and bound with other components in a seamless manner. Lastly, the independent versioning and component isolation advantageously allows for dynamic binding of the components at runtime.
