Overview of SharePoint 2010 Development & Management

Tools

Development Tools

• Visual Studio 2010• MS Visio 2010• SharePoint Designer to some extent

Visual Studio 2010• Visual Studio Project Templates– Sequential Workflow– State Machine Workflow– Event Receiver– Modules (Files)– Business Connectivity Services Model– Content Type– List Definition– Site Definition– Visual Web Part– Import SharePoint Solution (WSP) Package– Import Reusable Workflow

Visual Studio 2010• Visual Studio Item Templates– List Instance– Web Part– Application Page– Workflow Association Page– Workflow Instantiation Page– Global Resource

Visual Studio 2010

Developer Dashboard

LINQ-To-SharePoint• Entity based programming

– Strong Types and Intellisense

• Supports List Joins and Projections– Join lists on lookup field between them– Join multiple lists (A->B->C)– Project any field from joined list in a query without changes in

list schema• Example– from o in data.Orders

where o.Customer.City.Name == "London“

select o;

Client Object Model• Simple API to Add, Retrieve, Update

and Manage Data in SharePoint• Commands batched for Performance

Management Tools

• Central Administration• STSADM• PowerShell• SharePoint Designer 2010

STSADM

PowerShell

PowerShell

• Is a command-line scripting tool that provides an administrator:– full access to applicable application programming

interfaces (APIs)– ability to interact directly with SharePoint 2010

Products to manipulate Web applications, site collections, sites, lists etc.

– ability to script cmdlets

PowerShell• Show the commands available via SharePoint

2010 Management Shell

Sandboxed solutions

Solutions - Changes

• Two types of solutions– Farm solutions

• Features deployed to front end

– Sandboxed solutions• End-user submitted solution• Features deployed to database – usable in site collection level

• Solution dependencies• Upgrade infrastructure to support life cycle

management of deployed functionalities

Solution deployment options

• Full trust deployment– Local deployment only– More or less the same as in 2007

• Sandboxed solution deployment– Deployed to a specific site collection

by site collection administrators– Code runs in a rights-restricted process

with limited CAS permissions– Server resource usage is monitored against

a quota managed by the service administrators

Sandbox Setup and Deployment

• Start on selected server to run sandbox processes

Site Collection Administration

• Solution Gallery -- _catalogs/solutions• Empower SC Admins

Visual Studio 2010 Feature, Package and Deployment Designer

SharePoint 2010 Project Structure

• Standard Project Nodes– Properties– References

• SharePoint 2010 Nodes– Features– Package– SharePoint Project Items (SPI)– Mapped Folders

Feature Node and Feature Designer• Feature node contains one or more features

– Customize feature properties in designer and/or property grid– Use Context menu of Feature node to add feature event receiver and

feature resource files– Feature designer allows adding/removing SPIs– Customize feature activation dependencies– Feature designer provides design mode and XML text Mode

Project Packaging• Project Packaging Designer

– Modify package properties using property grid– Designer allows you to add/remove features and SPIs– Modify package properties with designer or XML

Mapped Folders• Mapped Folders used to deploy to SharePointRoot

– Layouts folder maps to virtual path /_layouts– Images folder maps to virtual path /_layouts/images– You can map other folders inside SharePointRoot directory

• Layouts folder key to creating application pages– Best practice to create solution-specific folder inside Layouts

Deployment Options• Two Deployment configuration by default– Default– No Activation

Developing Web Parts

Two Types of Web Parts

• Visual Web Part– Allows to drag & drop controls

• Standard ASP.NET Web Part– Allows to build a logic of the web part embedded

into class file
