Binding to business objects and web services
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates entity data binding comprising:
- a binding component that generates control information associated with at least one control based, at least in part, upon binding information associated with an entity; and
, a control generator that generates a control of a form associated with the entity based upon the control information generated by the binding component.

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., a business object and/or a web service) onto a form. Control(s) associated with the form are created by the system based on a schema of the object.

14. A method that facilitates entity data binding comprising:
-
receiving information associated with introduction of a representation of an entity onto a designer form;
determining control information associated with the entity based, at least in part, upon binding information associated with the entity;
creating a control of the form based on the control information; and
, binding the control to the entity. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A data packet transmitted between two or more computer components that facilitates entity data binding, the data packet comprising:
a data field comprising control information associated with a control, the control information based upon binding information associated with an entity.

21. A computer readable medium storing computer executable components of a system that facilitates entity data binding comprising:
-
a binding component that generates control information associated with at least one control based, at least in part, upon binding information associated with an entity; and

22. A system that facilitates entity data binding comprising:
means for generating control information associated with at least one control based, at least in part, upon binding information associated with an entity; and
, means for generating a control of a form associated with the entity based upon the control information generated by the means for generating control information.
