 Standard Edition
 Professional Edition
 Team Edition for Software Developers
 Team Edition for Software Testers

5. Training Management Application
 The Training Management application can be thought of as a
combination of use cases and a workflow. This combination
includes:
 Create a New Course Use Case - Create a training course and add
it to the list of training courses.
 Register for a Course Use Case - Register for a training course.
 Registration Approval Use Case - Approve or reject a course
registration.
 Registration Workflow Implementation - Workflow adds a new
registrant to the list of employees that are registered for courses.
 View the Manager Dashboard Use Case - Manager dashboard.
 View the Training Dashboard Use Case - Training dashboard.

8. The Training Management application uses three patterns.
Model-View-Presenter (MVP)
Presenter Class to encapsulate business logic
Facilitates the software development technique of unit testing
with mock objects
Service Locator
Centralized Point for
registering and looking up
different Objects
Repository
Acts as mediators
Querying and Updating SharePoint Lists
Repositories simplify the access to list data and provide a layer
of abstraction that makes unit testing with mock objects much
easier.

9. Site Definitions
Feature Stapling
Content Types
Help you to organize SharePoint content
Different types of information in a single list
Lists Vs DB
List Definitions
Extending SharePoint List
Custom Field – displays in new and edit form
Custom Dispform.aspx – change some code behind in page
Custom Action – Customize toolbar
Can bound to content type , list type and file type
Can invoke javascript and redirect to url
Item Data Validator
Modify New/Edit form (not recommended)
Item Event Receiver

10. New Application
This is the initial
deployment of a
new application.
All the required
artifacts are
defined within
one or more
SharePoint
solutions.
There are no existing
records in the SharePoint All the SharePoint solution
content database that could artifacts are version
conflict with the elements controlled with a source
that are defined by the control system.
solution artifacts.
The application
can ship
independently of
any authored
artifacts.

11. Not Affecting Existing App
By delivering a new feature that augments the original application
Package as new WSS Solution
Use SharePoint feature activation dependencies
Same Scope
Cross Scope

12. Affecting Existing App
Upgrade Sample Scenario
 You need to update a content type that is currently used.
 You need to update a Web Part to a new version.
 You need to change the logic of a workflow.
 You need to add or remove a list column on which code logic depends.
Two Ways to do the upgrade
 Upgrade the solution using the command.
 Retract and redeploy approach
 Create New Solution and Migrate older
 May need side by side instance of same list

can use it to dynamically create queries with a set of .NET Framework classes.
Other Tools
 Axceler Pinpoint. This is a SharePoint administration tool.

 SharePoint Inspector. This tool can browse the SharePoint farm to object level
 SharePoint SUSHI. SharePoint Utility with a Smart, Helpful Interface (copy view, bulk list creation)
 SPDisposeCheck. Checks the assembly that uses SharePoint API
