  • Publication number: 20060150172
    Abstract: A system and method for system and method data binding to type(s) of object(s) is provided. The system can be employed in a software application development environment to facilitate data binding to types of entity(ies) (e.g., object(s), web service(s) and/or a hierarchy of objects) rather than instance(s) of the entity(ies). With the ability to bind to types, the system provides the ability to abstract schema by which the control(s) are bound from the source of data. The system allows developer(s) and/or architect(s) to specify their own base classes for their own object(s). The system includes a binding source component that supports the ability to set its data source to a type, rather then a specific instance. For example, when the data source is changed, the binding source component can evaluate whether the data source (e.g., object) can be instanced and whether the data source (e.g., object) supports necessary designer interface(s).

  • Publication number: 20060101390
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating lookup control configuration is provided. The system incorporates the persistence of the metadata required to associate a field and a display value of a lookup list, and facilitates creation of a lookup type user interface control. Thus, a user (e.g., developer) can drag a lookup control to a design surface and set the relevant property(ies) on the control. The user can then drag lists of information onto the control to automatically set the properties of the lookup control to display the values of the list. The user can then run their application to see immediate results. Optionally, the user can leverage Smart tags to change the default values set to different values.

  • Publication number: 20060085342
    Abstract: A system and method for method facilitating design-time data binding of business object(s) and/or web service(s) is provided. Developer(s) can specify their own class(es) that do not require specific inheritance, interface implementation or default public constructors. The system includes a binding component that generates control information associated with control(s) based, at least in part, upon binding information associated with an entity (e.g., object, business object and/or web service). The system further includes a control generator that generates control(s) of a form associated with the entity based upon the generated by the binding component. The binding component can utilize public property(ies) of the entity (e.g., object, business object and/or web service). The entity can represent a hierarchy of objects that drill down (e.g., endlessly), including circular relationships. At design-time, a user (e.g., developer) can drag the root of an object (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20060085380
    Abstract: A system and method for a reentrant database object wizard is provided. The system provides the ability to compare a currently generated dataset to the objects of the underlying database. Columns and tables that are not common between both the dataset and the database are visually displayed for the user to make a decision on inclusion or exclusion. In addition, columns and tables that were previously within the dataset that are no longer available on the database connection are displayed, for example, with warning icons so that the user can either resolve the missing column or table within the database, or remove the column/table from their typed dataset. The system includes a comparison component and a display component. The comparison component provides comparison information based upon a comparison of a dataset to an associated database. The display component displays the comparison information.

  • Publication number: 20060085400
    Abstract: A system and method that facilitate data access in a software development environment is provided. The system generates strongly typed objects (e.g., TableAdapter(s)) that encapsulate raw, untyped data access logic, for example, via generated wrapped method(s). The system can group together like database commands in a common data access component. For example, the TableAdapter can encapsulate a configured DataAdapter and expose public method(s) for the “Fill” and “Update” methods normally found on the DataAdapter. The system provides a mapping between database types and common language runtime data types including the impedance mismatch of null representations. The system includes a data access configuration component (e.g., configuration wizard) that configures data access component(s) (e.g., TableAdapter(s)). The configured data access component(s) can be employed at design-time to facilitate access to data object(s) (e.g., database(s)) by application(s).

  • Patent number: 5595987
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of using zatebradine by intravenous (IV) injection to retard or eliminate arrhythmias due to abnormal spontaneous activity in subendocardial Purkinje fibers. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of zatebradine to reduce intracellular Na.sup.+ activity in Purkinje fibers and block I.sub.f current. Arrhythmias due to abnormal spontaneous activity in subendocardial Purkinje fibers occur 24 hours after occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery in canine heart. These Purkinje fibers in the infarcted hearts are depolarized and have elevated intracellular Na.sup.+ activity. The major current underlying normal automaticity in these fibers is the I.sub.f current. Zatebradine reduces intracellular Na.sup.+ activity in Purkinje fibers by 4 mM. In vivo, 0.25-1.0 mg/kg intravenous injections of zatebradine slow ventricular rhythms by 24%. Although zatebradine also slows sinus nodal rate, it precipitates a more severe arrhythmia.
