Unreferenced date December 2009 In computer programming , a third party software component is a reusable software component developed to be either freely distributed or sold by an entity other than the original vendor of the development platform. The third party software component market thrives because many programmers believe that Component based software engineering component oriented development improves the efficiency and quality of developing custom applications. However, this belief may be misplaced because the majority of these components are not subject to the same quality controls that one would expect to find in other industries. It is rare to find a software component that was developed in accordance with a general standard such as ISO 9001 , let alone a more specific standard that would be applicable to the function of the component. For instance, there is a British Standards Institution specification BS 6117 1981 which details the requirements for the performance and characteristics of glass bottles for light wine, however no such standard exists for a software component that would provide a Java logging framework . This means that the user of such a software component would not be able to rely on it having a predictable behaviour. Visual Basic Microsoft Visual Basic Spawned the first commercially viable market for reusable software components. Visual Basic s first extensibility mechanism was the specification for Visual Basic Extension s, commonly known as custom controls . In version 4.0 of Visual Basic, the OCX custom control was introduced to replace VBX. OCX was later renamed ActiveX and then component object model COM . In version 7.0 of Visual Basic, also known as VB.NET , Microsoft introduced the Microsoft .NET .NET Component to replace both VBX and ActiveX. It was still possible to use many ActiveX components in VB.NET by wrapping them in a .NET layer.

Unreferenced date July 2009 ObjectPAL is short for Object Oriented Paradox Application Language , which is the programming language used by the Borland Paradox database application now owned by Corel . Paradox, now in its 11th version, is a constituent of Corel s Word Perfect Word Perfect X3 office suite , for 32 bit Microsoft Windows . The language is tightly bound to the application s forms, and provides a very rapid and robust development environment for creating database applications for Windows. ObjectPAL is not a full free standing object oriented language . It belongs to the family of languages inspired by Hypercard , with influences from PAL wherever functionality could be kept the same , Smalltalk , and Garnet a UI language created by Brad Myers . While its objects do Encapsulation in object oriented programming encapsulate source code , there is no support for Polymorphism in object oriented programming polymorphism , and only a very limited Inheritance in object oriented programming inheritance concept, which is wedded to objects on a form which can be controlled by code placed on a higher object in a form s object hierarchy. However, for what it is, ObjectPAL provides a wideranging and versatile language for creating Paradox applications. The syntax and structure of the language resembles Visual Basic , but knowing Visual Basic would only help someone new to ObjectPAL in the sense that any other programming skill would be transferable to ObjectPAL. ObjectPAL was the successor to PAL, which was the Paradox for DOS programming language. With the advent of Paradox for Microsoft Windows Windows 1.0 in 1993, which was then owned by Borland Corporation, ObjectPAL was born. Version 1.0 was quickly succeeded by version 4.5 that same year. It can be used as such as a Scripting Languages Server side web server scripting language when combined with the Corel Web Server Control OCX, which implements a server API similar to the Common Gateway Interface CGI , and its ... more details
refimprove date July 2009 In computer programming , a Visual Basic Extension commonly abbreviated VBX or custom control , was the software component component model used in Microsoft Visual Basic versions 1.0 to 3.0. It is still supported in the 16 bit version of version 4.0, but was made obsolete by OCXs. VBX has also been supported in some versions of Borland Delphi . The VBX specification was created so that developers could extend Visual Basic . Since at the time Visual Basic was an interpreted language with limited speed, VBXs, which were most often written in C or C , provided the ability to create very powerful and efficient user interface sub components which could be assembled into applications using Visual Basic as the glue. Visual Basic 4.0 added support for the newer Object Linking and Embedding OLE custom controls OLE Controls or OCX s which became ActiveX controls , implicitly deprecating VBX controls. OCXs are based on the Component Object Model . Each version of Visual Basic has come with many controls. By incorporating VBX controls into Visual Basic, Microsoft spawned the first commercially viable market for reusable software component s. Third party software component Third parties have created a large market of custom controls for resale. VBX components were called custom controls because the Microsoft development team envisioned them as visual control components like a toggle switch or button. Enterprising third party software component developers saw opportunities to use the VBX specification for non visual components, such as components for creating ZIP file format ZIP files , manipulating low level system settings and communicating with TCP IP .

Windows Resource Protection is a feature in Windows Vista that replaces Windows File Protection . It protects Windows Registry registry keys and folders in addition to critical system files. The way it protects Resource Windows resources differs entirely from the method used by Windows File Protection . Overview Windows File Protection works by registering for notification of file changes in Winlogon . If any changes are detected to a protected system file, the modified file is restored from a cached copy located in a compressed folder at tt WinDir System32 dllcache tt . Windows Resource Protection works by setting discretionary access control lists DACLs and access control list s ACLs defined for protected resources. Permission for full access to modify WRP protected resources is restricted to the processes using the Windows Modules Installer service TrustedInstaller.exe . Administrators no longer have full rights to system files. Protected resources can be modified or replaced only if administrators take ownership of the resource and add the appropriate Access Control Entries ACEs . The Trusted Installer account is used to secure core operating system files and Windows Registry registry keys. Protected files and registry keys have an access control list applied that prevents other user accounts and programs that execute under any other user account except the TrustedInstaller account from making changes. Protected resources Windows Resource Protection protects a large number of file types code .dll, .exe, .ocx, .sys, .acm, .ade, .adp, .app, .asa, .asp, .aspx, .ax, .bas, .bat, .bin, .cer, .chm, .clb, .cmd, .cnt, .cnv, .com, .cpl, .cpx, .crt, .csh, .dll, .drv, .dtd, .exe, .fxp, .grp, .h1s, .hlp, .hta, .ime, .inf, .ins, .isp, .its, .js, .jse, .ksh, .lnk, .mad, .maf, .mag, .mam, .man, .maq, .mar, .mas, .mat, .mau, .mav, .maw, .mda, .mdb, .mde, .mdt, .mdw, .mdz, .msc, .msi, .msp, .mst, .mui, .nls, .ocx, .ops, .pal, .pcd, .pif, .prf, .prg, .pst, .reg, .scf, .scr, .sct, ... more details

Windows File Protection WFP , a sub system included in Microsoft Windows operating system s of the Windows 2000 and Windows XP era, aims to prevent programs from replacing critical Windows system file s. Protecting core system files mitigates problems such as DLL hell with programs and the operating system. Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 include WFP under the name of Windows File Protection Windows Me includes it as System File Protection . Operation With Windows File Protection active, replacing or deleting a system file that has no File locking file lock to prevent it getting overwritten causes Windows immediately and silently to restore the original copy of the file. The original version of the file is restored from a cached folder which contains backup copies of these files. The Windows NT family uses the cached folder tt WinDir System32 Dllcache tt . Windows Me caches its entire set of compressed cabinet setup files and stores them in the tt Systemroot Options Install tt folder. WFP covers all files which the operating system installs such as tt DLL tt , tt EXE tt , tt SYS tt , tt OCX tt etc. , protecting them from deletion or from replacement by older versions. The digital signature s of these files are checked using code signing and the signature catalog files stored in the tt Systemroot system32 CatRoot F750E6C3 38EE 11D1 85E5 00C04FC295EE tt folder. Only certain operating system components such as the Package Installer Update.exe or Windows Installer Msiexec.exe can replace these files. Changes made using any other methods in order to replace these files are reverted and the files are silently restored from the cache. If Windows File Protection cannot automatically find the file in the cached folder, it searches the network path or prompts the user for the Windows installation disc to restore the appropriate version of the file. WFP integrates with the System File Checker code sfc.exe code utility. Windows Vista does not include Windows Fi ... more details
