Everything We Can
Possibly Cover about
Developing with
SharePoint® Technology in
an Hour's Time
Sofia, Bulgaria | 9-10 October
Agenda
● This session is all about “what”, not “how”
● We’ll explain what’s different to developing with
Windows SharePoint Services v3 and Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server 2007
● We’ll enumerate where within SharePoint Products
and Technologies you can add your own code
● We’re here to provide a big picture – albeit a
technical big picture
● We’ll point you to the places
to go for more information about
how to do all of these things

Why Develop with SharePoint
Sites?
● Provisioning engine
● One project can yield thousands of instances
● Information store
● List and document management services
● Events and workflow
● Access via SOAP, WebDAV, et. al.
● Ready-to-use facilities you don’t have to write
● Pre-existing list templates
● Navigation, security, site administration, logging,
etc.
Sofia, Bulgaria | 9-10 October
A Quick Standardization of
Terms

WSS v2 / SPS 2003
WSS v3 / MOSS
Web Sites
Virtual Servers
Web Applications
● SPSite = WSS Site Collection
Physical Server
● SPWeb (or Web) = WSS Site

Demonstration
Master Pages in SharePoint Sites
Feature Definitions
● Collection set of components and
specifications
● e.g., list, view, Web Part, workflow,
content type, custom page
● Interdependent – useless without each
other
● Installed as a set
● Activated in sites if site owner chooses
● Can be programmatically activated
Sofia, Bulgaria | 9-10 October
Sofia, Bulgaria | 9-10 October
Demonstration
Feature Definitions
Site Definitions
● “Real” templates (c.f., user templates)
● Instructions for creating a site
● Assets referenced by a site
● Can be little more than a set of features
● Can call provisioning assembly code
during site creation

Windows Server 2003
● Windows SharePoint Services only runs
on Windows Server 2003 or later

● You need a copy to deploy/debug
● Options
● Make it your development OS
● Run it in a Virtual PC
● Have a standalone server at your
disposal
Sofia, Bulgaria | 9-10 October
Code Deployment
● Old School Method:
●
●
●
●
Manually copy files onto the file system
Add web.config entries for assemblies
Do IIS reset
Repeat, on EVERY web front end!
● New School Method:
● Solution Packages

Sofia, Bulgaria | 9-10 October
Site Deployment
● Content Migration APIs
●
●
●
●
Uses change logs
Builds CAB files with data, metadata changes

copy list/library content to other sites
● Extended by Microsoft Office SharePoint
Server to deploy site applications

options for solution development
● It adds several object models for
custom extensibility projects
