Visually processing instance data

At a computer system including one or more processors and system memory, a method for moving a property value between visualizations of data, the method comprising:

• an act of selecting property value from an instantiated visualization within an item presenter, the instantiated visualization corresponding to the data type for the property value;
• an act of moving the property value from the item presenter to a second different item presenter;
• an act of referring to a metadata store to determine a visualization associated with the property value, the metadata store including one or more mappings that map between data types and visualizations;
• an act of instantiating another instance of the visualization within the second different item presenter to accommodate the property value;
• an act of binding the property value to the other visualization instance;
• and
• an act of relocating a data element corresponding to the property value in a data model.

A computer program product of for use at a computer system, the computer program product for implementing a method for visualizing data, the computer program product comprising one or more computer storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed at a processor, cause the computer system to perform the method including the following:

• present a root user interface to visualize data from a data model;
• add an item presenter as a child element of the root user interface, the item presenter including:
• a visual place holder that can receive a portion of data from any of a plurality of different portions of the data model;
• and
• a handler wired to a user interface drop event, the handler configured to create a new instance of a dropped object, create an editing experience of the new instance of the dropped object based on the data type of the dropped object, and visually display the editing experience;
• detect that a portion of data has been dropped onto the item presenter;
• execute the further executable-instructions to:
• identify the data type of the portion of data;
• call a metadata store to determine an editing experience for the identified data type;
• bind the item presenter to the portion of data in accordance with mark-up language instructions;
• and
• instantiate an instance of the editing experience within the placeholder to visualize the portion of data.
