Most interesting from SharePoint 2010 Virtual Ignite Training: 1st Day

8 feb 2010: Virtual SharePoint 2010 Ignite Training for Developer

Notes:

  • Now SharePoint by default has rating and tagging functionality.
  • SharePoint 2010 works in both IE and Firefox.
  • Content Organizing functionality: document going to some sub-folder based on some pre-defined rule(condition). For example, based on some column value.
  • New client-side object model and runtime (working with SharePoint Web services as with SharePoint API directly).
  • Now SPWeb objects are automatically disposable. SPSite not.
  • Server Explorer for SharePoint is extendible. Developer can develop some additional actions for it. For example, “Right Click” menu for Content Type.
  • Code debugging with “F5” – Run from Visual Studio 2010 (deploying code for deploying and automatically attaches to working process).
  • Upgrade Elements in Element-manifests (CustomUpgradeAction, ApplyElementManifest, …)
  • MinimumVersion for Feature  Activation Dependency (will try to upgrade feature to meet minimum version [force])

New events in SharePoint (listed only new events!):

  • Workflow events:
    • WorkflowStarting / WorkflowStarted
    • WorkflowPostponed
    • WorkflowCompleted
  • List events:
    • ListAdding / ListAdded
    • ListDeleting / ListDeleted
  • Site events:
    • WebAdding / WebProvisioned

Workflow Association – now it is possible to associate workflows in Element-manifests (… and based on ContentType too)

Replacement and Improved Framework for STP: Save as Template –> WSP file (which can be opened in Visual Studio 2010)

Solution Framework changes:

  • Two types of solutions: farm solutions and sandboxed solutions
  • Solution dependencies (No Visual Studio 2010 Designer support)
    • Does not deploy dependent solution automatically. Will check only.
  • Application Resources Files
  • Solution Upgrade
