Patent number: 7624400Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for converting an object of one type to an object of another type that allow for the runtime operation of the conversion process to be altered or customized. The conversion may occur within an extensible serialization engine that serializes, deserializes, and transforms objects of various types. The runtime operation of the serialization engine is altered by one or more extension routines that implement the desired customizations or extensions, without requiring replacement of other existing routines. Based on type information, identified for an initial object, the object is converted to an intermediate representation which permits runtime modification, including modification of object names, object types, and object data. The intermediate representation of the initial object is modified in accordance with extension routines that alter the runtime operation of the serialization engine, and the intermediate representation is converted to a final object and type.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2006Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Stefan H. Pharies, Sowmy K. Srinivasan, Natasha H. Jethanandani, Yann Erik Christensen, Elena A. Kharitidi, Douglas M. Purdy

Patent number: 7574516Abstract: The transfer of raw data from a source data structure to a target data structure that represent the same item. During the data transfer, if there is a given field in the target data structure that does not correspond to a field supplied by the source data structure, the transfer mechanism determines whether or not it is mandatory that the source data structure supply the field. If it is mandatory, the transfer fails. Otherwise, the transfer continues. If there is field of the source data structure that does not correspond to a field of the target data structure, the transfer mechanism determines whether or not it is mandatory that the target data structure have the field. If it is mandatory, the transfer fails. Otherwise, the corresponding data may be provided to a residual field of the target data structure dedicated for unknown data.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2005Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Sowmyanarayanan K.

Patent number: 7571196Abstract: A versionable schema is both backward-compatible and forward-compatible. Such a schema is able to receive data expected by multiple versions of the schema; tolerates the absence of optional data, in accordance with other versions, and accept wildcard data in accordance with still further versions. Thus, a message or message may be validated by the versionable schema.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2004Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Douglas Purdy, Natasha Jethanandani, Sowmy Srinivasan, Stefan H.

Publication number: 20090063462Abstract: A word is split into one or more first substrings. A morpheme is applied to the one or more first substrings to create one or more second substrings. The one or more first and second substrings are selected as one or more splittings, and a score is generated for each of the one or more splittings. One of the one or more splittings with a score higher than the other one or more splittings is selected as a keyword.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Enrique Alfonseca, Stefan H.

Publication number: 20070198989Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a message object that simultaneously exposes an XML view and Type view for a message infoset. In this embodiment, interaction with a message can occur using either an XML or Type application program interface (API), which are synced. More specifically, embodiments herein provide or expose a common set of headers (e.g., SOAP headers) as “typed” properties (e.g., CLR properties), which allow for getting and/or setting a value thereof In other words, the Type API reads/writes values for typed properties without regard to how the message is encoded with XML. Moreover, the two APIs are synced such that a value can be set using one API and retrieved using the other. For example, an XML API may be used as a writing mechanism for interacting with a value, while the Type API can read that same value, and vise-versa.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael S. Vernal, Donald F. Box, Douglas M. Purdy, Eugene Osovetsky, Kenneth D. Wolf, Stephen T. Swartz, Erik B. Christensen, Stefan H. Pharies

Publication number: 20070180043Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for an overall object mode that allows for a single message object to represent multiple messaging formats. A general message object is populated with fields for multiple available messaging formats, which can be appropriately filled with information with fields for both versions 1.1 and 1.2. Depending on which version is being used or desired, the appropriate fields can be populated when creating an instance of the message object. The other fields that do not correspond to that version, however, are left blank.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2006Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael S. Vernal, Aaron Stern, Donald F. Box, Erik B. Christensen, Kenneth D. Wolf, Michael J. Coulson, Stefan H. Pharies, Luis Felipe Cabrera

Publication number: 20070177590Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a message contract programming model, which is a mechanism for service developers to control the processing, layout, and creation of messages (e.g., SOAP) without losing the benefits of a strongly-typed data contract model. Such programming model is based on attributes, which can be used to define the action or operations, headers, and body parts components of a message. These attributes may be used on a type annotated with message contract or on a service operation to control the manner in which the message (e.g., SOAP) is constructed from a service process, process parameters, and/or return values. The use of the message contract in conjunction with a message formatter as defined herein provides for many advantageous features and embodiments described herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2006Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael S. Vernal, Alex DeJarnatt, Donald F. Box, Douglas M. Purdy, Jesus Ruiz-Scougall, Eugene Osovetsky, Richard D. Hill, Stephen J. Millet, Yasser Shohoud, Stephen T. Swartz, Stefan H. Pharies

Patent number: 6898604Abstract: An object instance is serialized to a serial format, such as an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) document, based on a mapping between an arbitrary annotated source code file and a schema. The arbitrary annotated source code contains at least one programming type that describes a shape of an object instance and the schema describes a format of a document having a serial format. The mapping defines a correspondence between the shape of the object instance and the format of the document having the serial format. Subsequently, an object instance is converted to the serial format by converting public properties, public fields and method parameters of the object instance to a document having the serial format based on the mapping. Once the mapping is defined, an XML document can also be converted to an object instance based on the mapping.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2001Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Keith W. Ballinger, Erik B. Christensen, Stefan H. Pharies

Publication number: 20040239674Abstract: Systems and methods for modeling graphs as XML information sets and describing them with XML schema. An edge labeled directed graph is converted to an edge labeled directed tree representing some of the edges directly and some of the edges indirectly. A graph is completely traversed such that all nodes are visited and all edges are traversed. Nodes are included by value initially and then by reference. A schema is provided that describes the structure of an XML tree than contains graph data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2003Publication date: December 2, 2004Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Timothy J.
