A computer-implemented method for providing access to media content in multiple locations includes: storing media content in a system that has a memory and another storage; generating an object that represents the media content, the object including media content metadata and a media content reference configured to identify each of a memory location and a storage location; and making the object available to an application, the media content reference providing access to the stored media content at the memory location or at the storage location.

Providing access to media content in multiple locations

A system, method, and computer program product for creating a visual component in an application include a first functional unit operable to receive first input specifying logic functions of the visual component, a second functional unit operable to receive second input defining one or more visual assets to be included in a layout of the visual component, and a third functional unit operable to receive third input in alternate forms, said third input specifying one or more layouts of the visual component. The alternate forms may include tag input and script input.

System and method for providing visual component layout input in alternate forms

A system and method builds a set of information by providing information related to each object of a first type surrounded with a pair of identifiers. Information related to objects of a second type is provided with an embedded identifier. Information received from a server is associated with one or more first objects by locating a pair of identifiers in the information and associating the information with one or more objects corresponding to the pair of identifiers.

System and method for providing information and associating information

A method, system, and computer program product for presenting a User Interface (UI), the method includes receiving input defining a value of a presentation property of a UI object as a name of a class declaration, and producing code that when executed, instantiates an object based on the class declaration, the execution of the code applying the object as a style of the UI object.

Defining style values as objects

A system and method is disclosed for routing data of a declarative source expression to a destination. Declarative source expressions are analyzed at compile-time to discover variable properties. As such properties are discovered, a binding object is created and a list of watcher objects is generated associated with the particular variable properties. The watcher object includes a change event notification which is broadcast when a change in the property is detected. When a change event notification is received, a binding object, which is also automatically generated by the compiler, is executed causing the variable property to be read and the declarative source expression to be re-evaluated which propagates the property changes through the application.

System and method for routing data

A system and method allows a user to view server side code results on a computer system by storing source code for a web page on the server, retrieving the web page from the server, associating the server side code results with the server side code that caused the server to produce them, and displaying the server side code results, for example in place of the server side code. The operation of the method and system may be periodically repeated to incorporate updates to the server side code results. The user may graphically adjust characteristics of the server side code results, and if the user so adjusts them, the system and method adjusts the source code for the web page consistent with the adjustments made by the user.

System and method for displaying server side code results in an application program

A method, system, and computer program product for providing an application include representing a plurality of hierarchical rules as a plurality of objects in a prototype pointer chain, and providing a function to search the rules for a desired style by traversing the prototype pointer chain. An exemplary method provides a user interface or application with one or more visual objects. The visual appearances of the visual objects is affected by style information retrieved by traversing a prototype pointer chain to search for style-related rules. A compiled file can include code that describes rules as objects and creates class inheritance relationships between those objects and code that describes a style-finding function. A displaying program instantiates the objects arranged in a prototype pointer chain and uses its own inheritance logic to traverse the chain according to the style-finding function.

Cascading style sheets (CSS) prototype pointer chaining in object-oriented environment

A system and method allows the debugging of a program by an application without requiring knowledge of the operation of the interpreter or compiler.
