Providing design time projections for a visual program

A computer system comprising the following:

• one or more processors;
• system memory;
• one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computing system to perform a method for presenting partial projections of a declarative program, the method comprising the following:
• an act of establishing a declarative program that includes one or more artifacts;
• an act of identifying at least one form of the declarative program that is to be presented in a partial projection;
• and
• an act of displaying the partial projection presentation in addition to the one or more artifacts of the declarative program.

• an act of identifying at least one form of the declarative program that is to be presented in a partial projection;
• an act of generating a partial projection for the identified form of the declarative program;
• an act of displaying the generated partial projection presentation in addition to the one or more artifacts of the declarative program;
• an act of receiving an input indicating that one or more of the artifacts being displayed in the partial projection are to be edited;
• and
• an act of editing the declarative program based on the received input.
