An application program interface (API) provides a set of functions for application developers who build Web applications on Microsoft Corporation's .NET&#x2122; platform.

Computing system and method for allowing plurality of applications written in different programming languages to communicate and request resources or services via a common language runtime layer

An asynchronous database API allows threads to call a database and continue to execute without spawning a thread to wait for the database and without polling the database. The API immediately returns to a caller without waiting for a database operation to complete or for any other external event. A call to an asynchronous database API can invoke an initialization method. The initialization method may validate the input parameters, build them into a message for a database operation, send the message to the database server, and return signal information to the client process thread. Signal information provides a client thread with a way to recognize a signal indicating the return of results from a database. Upon completion of a database operation, a thread can call a finalization method to perform any final step to process the database results and pass the formatted results to the thread.

Asynchronous database API

A database API is presented that can expose data of non-native data-types, i.e., types that are unknown at API design-time. A broad type-system is used that is understood by both a server and a client. The API can dynamically discover, at run-time, data types that were defined using this broad type-system. The API can retrieve metadata that references a non-native data type in a client type library. A retrieved instance of the non-native data type, in serialized form, may be deserialized using the metadata.
