worker process (via Site URL)


SharePoint Designer Improvements

SPD shell’s focus on SharePoint objectsSPD objects have relationshipsIntuitive navigation between SPD objects

SPD work migrates to Visual Studio 2010SPD customization work exported to .wsp files.wsp files imported into Visual Studio

New UI focusedon SP Objects


LISTS


Relational Lists & Joins

MSF 4.0 introduces the capability to have a relationship behavior enforced by a Lookup fieldNew investments:

Projected fields into child listsJoinsRelational integrity between parent & child lists

Introduces new security considerations and possible issues


Large List Support

MSF 4.0 lists can now support 50M items

Under read scenariosPlatform Investments:

Configuration options for administrators per Web application (Central Administration)Site collection & list administrators can request privileged operations (expensive queries)

Default Query Restrictions


Unique Column Constraints

Lists can now contain columns that require all values in all items in the list for that column to be unique

Scoped at SPList, not SPFolder, level

Unique columns must be indexed (automatically configured)When making existing column unique, existing data is validatedUniqueness determined by SQL collation

Ex: Case sensitive / insensitive


List Item Validation

Items are validated against a custom formula when saved


List Item Field Validation

Similar to list item validation, each column can be validated using a custom field, or by referencing other fields


LINQ TO SHAREPOINT


LINQ to SharePoint

No CAML RequiredEntity classes form Business LayerStrongly-typed queries, compile-time checkIntellisense helps query constructionMicrosoft.SharePoint.Linq.dll

Encapsulates the SharePoint object model queries based on the created entity classes

CLIENT OBJECT MODEL


Why Client Object Model?

More SharePoint Web services is a major requestClient Object Model provides complete API instead of more servicesProvides an abstraction layer to return results as recognizable SharePoint objectsConsistent developer experience across platforms (.NET, ECMAScript, Silverlight)


Supported Areas

Site Collections and SitesLists, List Items, Views, and List SchemasFiles and FoldersWeb, List, and List Item Property BagsWeb PartsSecurityContent TypesSite Templates and Site Collection Operations


Equivalent Objects

Server (Microsoft.SharePoint)

.NET Managed(Microsoft.SharePoint.Client)

Silverlight(Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Silverlight)

JavaScript(SP.js)

SPContext ClientContext ClientContext ClientContext

SPSite Site Site Site

SPWeb Web Web Web

SPList List List List

SPListItem ListItem ListItem ListItem

SPField Field Field Field

Member names mostly the same from server to client (e. g., SPWeb.QuickLaunchEnabled = Web.QuickLaunchEnabled)
