ABSTRACT:
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for using annotations in contracts to generate views and adapters. A framework is provided that supports annotations that can be used in a contract to allow a user to express how one or more members of the contract should be represented in at least one view, and to express how to adapt the members in at least one adapter. Annotations can also be used to indicate which of the components should be programmatically generated. The contract is accessed and at least a portion of the at least one view and the at least one adapter are generated based on the annotations and other information contained in the contract. For example, source code can programmatically be generated for a host side view, an add-in side view, a host side adapter, and an add-in side adapter using the various contract details and the annotations.
