SharePoint Server 2010 (Part 7 of 8): Developing with SharePoint 2010 Sandboxed Solutions (Level 100)

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 adds a new deployment model for SharePoint called sandboxed solutions. Sandboxed solutions are a controlled solution packaging format that offers SharePoint Server Farm owners a way to easily mitigate the risk that custom code can cause issues for them. Sandboxed solutions do this by restricting the APIs that can be called and governing resources that can be used. Because of this, sandboxed solutions provide a solution package that can be easily deployed to a shared server environment. In this webcast, we explain what sandboxed solutions are, and we demonstrate how to create sandboxed solutions with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and how to deploy and monitor these solutions on SharePoint farms.
Presenter: Mike Ammerlaan, Program Manager, Microsoft Corporation

Muhimbi's SharePoint Blog: SharePoint 2010 Beta – No longer possible to keep indexes on-line while rebuilding them

SharePoint 2010 Beta – No longer possible to keep indexes on-line while rebuilding them

Just a quick note to make sure that anyone typing this error message into a search engine will find this post.

Due to a change in the SharePoint 2010 AllDocVersions table it is no longer possible to rebuild indexes as part of a SQL 2008 maintenance plan and keep the indexes on-line at the same time.

The reason behind this is that the MetaInfo field is no longer of type Image. It is now of type tCompressedBinary:varbinary(MAX).

If you get the error listed below then make sure you open the Rebuild Index Task in your SQL Maintenance plan and disable the ‘Keep index online while reindexing’ option.

PDF Converter for SharePoint 3.2 – With new support for Office 2010

Posted at: 11:02 AM on 24 February 2010 by Muhimbi

PDFConverterBoxWe are very excited to announce the new version of the Muhimbi PDF Converter for SharePoint. The main change in this version is support for Office 2010 based converters and file formats.

We are quite surprised by the number of customers asking for Office 2010 support, especially considering that at the time of writing it is still in beta. On the other hand, it appears to be very stable and particularly the improvements in converting InfoPath forms to PDF format make it worth considering.

Agile Sharepoint development by 21apps and Andrew Woodward MVP

Having been an advocate of SharePoint and Agile development for some time I have always found it disappointing that there has not been a decent solution for managing my Agile Projects in SharePoint.  I initially floated the idea of a scrum tool for SharePoint just under a year ago and have at last managed to dedicate some time in order to make this idea a reality – internally this is called Project Aberdovey.

Today we announce two things

  • Project Aberdovey will be called “21ScrumScrum for SharePoint
  • The beta release is available for download today

HP Sizer for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server

The HP Sizer for Microsoft SharePoint is a complimentary planning resource that encapsulates knowledge gained from extensive performance characterization of Office SharePoint Server 2007 and SharePoint 2010 in the HP Solution Alliances Engineering performance labs, widespread collaboration between HP and Microsoft, and numerous SharePoint performance whitepapers produced by HP engineering. The tool offers a quick and consistent methodology for determining a "best-fit" server for individual needs, quick solution configuration comparisons, and a highly detailed, customizable server and storage solution complete with bill of materials and pricing.

HP Sizer for SharePoint solicits data or uses built-in defaults to determine optimal configurations based on SharePoint best practices and supported growth paths. Selectable default configurations include entry level, highly available, and application optimized solutions. A "what if" feature allows rapid comparison of the effects of workload changes, platform and storage technology selection, etc., and it provides role-based server configurations, capacity utilization, and estimated network traffic. Users can select a configuration and then customize their environment by adding or substituting components within best-practice guidelines.

HP Sizer for SharePoint also addresses one of the most critical areas of SharePoint server design: performance and capacity planning for the storage subsystem. The storage sizing and configuration capabilities offer detailed best-practice storage volume and RAID recommendations to support database and content storage needs using HP direct-attach storage, HP StorageWorks MSA or EVA Storage SAN solutions.
