Abstract:
1. A system for generating virtual types that represent objects of uncompiled source code such that the virtual types are accessible within a design tool as if they were compiled without having to load any assembly from the source code, the system comprising a processor and a memory in communication with the processor, the processor executing the following computer executable components that are stored in the memory: a builder component that receives a specification related to an object type and builds a clone of the object type in accordance with the specification, the object type being of an arbitrary base class; an implementer component that enables configuration of the clone as a virtual object type that is not compiled, the virtual object type being configured with data representing a first object type in a project in a design tool that is not compiled, wherein the virtual object type appears as a compiled first object type when accessed in the design tool via a reflection application program interface (API).
