SharePoint Architecture
Server Farms
• A collection of SharePoint role
servers and a SQL database
server
• Servers can perform one or
more functions
• Farm-level features are
managed via Central
Administration
• Solution Packages allow custom
code to be deployed across the
farm

Application
Database
Web Applications and Site Collections
• Web application = IIS Virtual
Server
• Each web application may
be assigned its own app
pool
• Web applications may utilize
multiple service applications
• Site collections reside within
web applications
Packaging and Deployment
Solution Packages
• Solution Packages are sets of
functionality deployed to the farm or
site collection (sandbox)
• May contain one or more Features,
assemblies, pages, controls, and other
artifacts
• SharePoint framework handles
installation and configuration of
solution items
• Automated packaging and
deployment in Visual Studio 2010

Features
• A ‘Feature’ is a defined set of
functionality encapsulated
within a specific format
• Features may be comprised of
any combination of code,
including web parts, workflows,
and site definitions
• Features may be deployed
individually or as a part of the
solution package

Common Artifacts
Web Parts
• Web Parts are a specific type of
server control that inherit from
System.Web.UI.WebPart
• Web Parts contain functionality
that is exposed to the user in the
context of a Web Part Page
• Classic Web Parts do not have an
IDE; Visual Web Parts host ASP.NET
User Controls
• Web Parts execute in the context of
the current user
Page
• Form
• Web Part
• Controls

List Elements, Types and Views
• Lists are virtual data repositories for
unstructured content
• Fields defined by associated content
types and user-defined columns
• Common lists types included OOTB
• List data is stored in the content
database associated with the site
collection
• Lists have associated views defined in
UI or CAML
List
• Fields
• Views
• Validation
Creating a list definition
Event Receivers
• Event Receivers are handler
assemblies that respond to events
on specific objects (Webs, Lists,
Features, etc.)
• Event receivers override built-in
methods
• Event Receivers have no UI or user
feedback mechanism
• Event Receivers must run with Full
Trust in the GAC

Business Connectivity Service
• Business Connectivity Service (BCS)
is a service application managing
access to external data stores using
SharePoint API
• BCS models define how the data is
going to be accessed what operation
are allowed on retrieved data
• Users can view external data in a list

Creating BCS connection to a SQL
Database
Sandbox Solutions
• Trusted solutions which run in
isolated process
• Uploaded to solution directory in
site collection
• Administratively controlled via
quotas (can be automatically
disabled)
• Ability to use trusted proxy for
restricted operations
