Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for composing views with automatic creation of links. Generally, views receive data through a query. Views also can have bindings to variables, for example, to represent what is selected in the view. Analyzing these queries can be used to determine whether a composition is valid, and how to compute a new query for a composed second view. In a composite view, a selection variable is utilized, and is bound to the selection parameter of the new first view. The data query for the second new view is re-written to refer to the selection variable in the composite.
