Postback input handling by server-side control objects
First Claim
1. A computer readable media, embodied in at least one tangible media, having a method executable by a computer system for processing postback input received from a client and associated with a client-side user interface element, the method comprising:
- creating a plurality of server-side control objects in a server-side control object hierarchy, the server-side control object hierarchy including a target server-side control object associated with the client-side user interface element;
passing the postback input to the target server-side control object;
processing the postback input received by target server-side control object; and
generating authoring language data from the plurality of server-side control objects to define a web page for display on a client.

Abstract
One or more server-side control objects provide server-side processing of postback input received from client-side user interface elements in a request from a client. Such input may include without limitation postback data and postback events generated from a web page on a client and received by a server in an HTTP request. A hierarchy of server-side control objects can cooperate to process the postback input and to generate the resulting authoring language code, such as HTML. Server-side events can also result from the server-side processing of postback input. In addition to processing postback input, server-side processing may include, without limitation, state management of server-side control objects and binding data to and from server-side database. After the processing and generating operations, the server-side control object hierarchy is terminated until a subsequent request is received from the client.

4. A computer program storage medium readable by a computer system and encoding a computer program for executing a computer process performing server-side processing of postback input received from a client and associated with a client-side user interface element, the computer process comprising:
-
examining the postback input received from the client to determine a hierarchical identifier of a target server-side control object in a server-side control hierarchy; identifying the target server-side control object in the server-side control hierarchy based on the hierarchical identifier of the target server-side control object passing the postback input received from the client to the target server-side control object; and processing the postback input received from the client and passed to the target server-side control object. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
