Sandboxed Solutions Debugging Sandboxed Solutions Farm Solutions run in the w3wp.exe process Sandboxed Solutions run in the SPUCWorkerProcess.exe process Hitting F5 automatically attaches to SPUCWorkerProcess.exe, then simply drop web part on a page, for example SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

9. Sandboxed Solutions Caveats Full API swapped out at runtime with sandboxed subset. SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivledges, for example, won’t work. IntelliSense is also truncated to help prevent runtime errors since compiler compiles against full API Try to avoid cut and paste All classes below SPSite are available Partial trust prevents access to anything outside the scope of the Site Collection (Internet, Web service, file system, etc) SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

10. Sandboxed Solutions Monitoring “Point” quotas set in Central Administration. Default is 300 points. Shows usage reports, for today and a 14 day average Points – next slide Validators Fire on upload of solution into Gallery Can enfore, only web parts, singed cod with a particular token, log/catalog solutions, etc. SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

13. Client Side Object Model Not enough web services in SP 2007 Rather than create more services, COM provides the complete API COM provides a consistent development experience: Windows Applications ASP.NET web sites Silverlight Applications JavaScript, www client side scripting SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

17. Starter Code Using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client; ... using (ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://intranet")) { Web web = context.Web; context.Load(web); context.ExecuteQuery(); string title = web.Title; // ListCollection lists = web.Lists; } SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

18. Iterating through Lists in a Web using (ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://intranet")) { Web web = context.Web; context.Load(web); context.Load(web.Lists); context.ExecuteQuery(); foreach(List list in web.Lists) { //do something } } SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

19. Efficiencies… Don’t be Lazy! Web web = context.Web; context.Load(web, wprop => wprop.Title)); ListCollection lists = web.Lists; IEnumerable<List> filtered = context. LoadQuery(lists.Include(l=>l.Title)); context.ExecuteQuery(); foreach(List list in filtered) { } SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

20. Working with List Items Web web = context.Web; List list = context.Web.Lists. GetByTitle(“List Title"); CamlQuery query = CamlQuery.CreateAllItemsQuery(); ListItemCollection items = lst.GetItems(query); context.Load(items); context.ExecuteQuery(); foreach (ListItem item in items) { string title = item["Title"]; } SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

21. Efficencies with List Items CamlQuery query = new CamlQuery(); query.ViewXml = "<View><Query><Where><Eq> <FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>Phil</Value> </Eq></Where></Query></View>"; ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(query); context.Load(items, x => x.Include( item => item["ID"], item => item["Title"], item => item.DisplayName)); SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

22. Adding new List Items List list = context.Web.Lists. GetByTitle(“List Title"); context.Load(list); ListItemnewItem = list.AddItem(new ListItemCreationInformation()); newItem["Title"] = "My new item"; newItem.Update(); context.ExecuteQuery(); SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com

23. Silverlight & Asynchronous Calls private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { // Load a bunch of stuff clientContext.ExecuteQueryAsync(success, failure); } private void success(object sender, ClientRequestSucceededEventArgsargs) { RunQueryrunQuery= Run; this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(runQuery); } private delegate void RunQuery(); private void Run() { /* do something */ } private void failure(object sender, ClientRequestFailedEventArgsargs) { /* do something */ } SharePoint FREEWARE www.PhilWicklund.com SharePoint CONSULTING www.RBAconsulting.com
