Building a New Solution Before you begin…
• Is your team ready for 2010?– Silverlight, Ajax, JSON– Visual web parts! (or is it?)
• Prepare to be hosted!– Limit customization to site collection level– Prefer to support sandboxed solutions*
![Page 6: Upgrading customized solutions in SharePoint from 2007 to 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081414/549a65dab47959f55a8b45f0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Building a New Solution
Before you begin…Creating a new web part?Inherit from
ASP.NET!• SharePoint web parts are still supported for backwards compatibility
• Do not change base for existing web parts!!!

Building a New SolutionBefore you begin…
Before you begin… you will need to set up your development environment:• Visual studio 2010 + VSeWSS• SharePoint Designer
Choose your development environment setup
• Install in one• Client / server• Virtualize! (recommended).

Building a New SolutionSetup trust level
• To trust, or not to trust?– Sandbox solutions is a way for you to deploy a set of
features and components to your SharePoint site collection that will have no effect on other site collections
– Sandbox solutions have limited support for extensibility and not all SharePoint customizations are allowed
– Sandboxed solutions can be installed and deployed by site owner from site settings
![Page 18: Upgrading customized solutions in SharePoint from 2007 to 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081414/549a65dab47959f55a8b45f0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Building a New SolutionSetup trust level
• What does this setting change?– This setting does not get written to WSP package, but
will allow VS to validate your content is supported within a sandboxes solution
– Solution assemblies within a sandboxed solution are not installed to GAC/Bin, and not running on W3WP process. Instead they run under SPUCWorkerProcess
– Sandboxed solutions can be deployed as a full-trusted solution as well
![Page 19: Upgrading customized solutions in SharePoint from 2007 to 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081414/549a65dab47959f55a8b45f0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Building a New SolutionSetup trust level
• What is supported within a sandbox solution?– List Definitions, List Instances, Content Types/Fields– Web Parts (non visual)– Event receivers: Item, List or Web– Declarative workflows (No code)– Custom Actions (Ribbon)– Onet.xml, WebTemplate feature element (instead of
Webtemp.xml) allows for site collection level site definitions!
– More…

• Keep in mind:– Site collection features will be activated by default
* Unless specifically specified not to in the feature
– To disable support for sandbox solutions simply stop the user code service.* Or administrator can block a specific solution from running
– Upgrading sandbox solutions are done manually, site collection at a time* You can run different versions on different site collections at the same time.

Building a New SolutionOne-click deploy or package
• Project menu allows you to build, deploy to development server, and to package using a WSP– Build – compile code only– Package – compiles and builds the WSP package– Deploy – compile, package and
deploy the package– Retract – removes the solution
package from server

Upgrading an Existing SolutionUpgrading an existing solution
General upgrading concerns• Old API still around (Microsoft.SharePoint.dll) with minor changes (Dispose SPWeb for
example)• New API (Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq.dll, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll,
Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.dll )What’s new?
• New technologies available: Silverlight, AJAX, JSON• New UI: Ribbon, pop ups
Important! Tips for safer upgrade• Keep the same namespaces and assembly evidence• Keep elements GUID (Features, List/Site Definitions, Etc.)• Existing web parts – Keep same base class!

Upgrading an Existing SolutionUpgrading a non-VSeWSS solution
• Conclusion– In order to make the most of VS2010 and
VS2010 extensions for WSS its best to build a new project skeleton and import existing code into it.
– If you already have a WSP package you can use it to build your project skeleton from it (reverse engineer) but your .NET code will not be included!
![Page 73: Upgrading customized solutions in SharePoint from 2007 to 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081414/549a65dab47959f55a8b45f0/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Upgrading an Existing SolutionUpgrading a non-VSeWSS solution
Open VS2010 and Create empty project
Build the skeleton of the project
Set namespace and assembly evidence to the same as in your pre-upgrade
Manually import your code to the new project

• But fear not! VSeWSS 2010 comes with an import tool (VSeWSS 2008 only):

Version ManagementVersion management
• Why do we need version management?– Tractability of bugs or changes– Perform upgrade operations on existing installations
(add a field, create hidden list etc.)– Monitor Dev, Staging and production deployment
running code• Not for ISV only!
– In house development team? Get used to working with versioned packages!

Version ManagementShared resources
• You may need to add shared resources to your projects– Assemblies (utility classes, base classes, 3rd party
components)• Sandbox – no problem• GAC – no version collisions*• BIN deployment – version collisions may occur
– Suggested solution:• Create one shared “Foundation” solution• Use assembly version redirect to support upgrades (must keep
backward compatibility)
