Overview of SharePoint 2010 Sandboxed Solutions Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2009 9/6/2018 Overview of SharePoint 2010 Sandboxed Solutions Enables developers to deploy solutions without IT action Enables IT to maintain health of SharePoint servers Isolates custom code from running in SharePoint process Quicker time-to-market solutions for site owners © 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

Advantages to Sandboxed vs. Farm Solutions: Added Flexibility Work directly with the customer (site collection owner) Predictable limitations defined by SharePoint [SharePoint Online] Speed to market – no need to involve administrator in deployment Errors won’t affect the hosting SharePoint site

Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2009 9/6/2018 Sandbox Solution Development Challenges Added Flexibility in Deployment Comes with Tradeoffs… Can only access subset of SharePoint 2010 server API Blocked from making remote calls Web service requests ATOM feed requests Custom database calls Blocked from connecting to on-premise LOB systems Limited to working in current site collection only Blocked from accessing the Page object Subject to resource monitoring & automatic throttling © 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

Addressing Sandbox Limitations Resource libraries that register specific actions Deployed as farm trust solution Sandboxed solutions can call these deployed actions Sandbox Solutions can Utilize “Full-Trust” Proxies Client-side Web Part – JavaScript / jQuery / etc Silverlight Web Part Move Business Logic off Server

Building Apps with SharePoint Solutions Both farm & sandbox solutions customize SharePoint Map App Architecture to SharePoint Artifacts Lists & libraries Site columns & content types Event receivers & workflows Timer jobs Security Apps with Large Data Sets Tricky in SharePoint High transactional system Customer database eCommerce

Addressing SharePoint Challenges w/ Windows Azure Mitigate constraints imposed by sandbox Achieve things not possible in the sandbox in Windows Azure Break out of the Sandbox with Windows Azure Move business logic to Windows Azure Host long-running processes Access On-Prem systems via Service Bus Advanced authentication via ACS Windows Azure can solve a different problem

Pillars of Integrating SharePoint & Windows Azure Reach Increasing the extensibility of applications & services Incorporate MarketPlace DataMarket data feeds Proxy to 3rd party system or cloud data Resource Storage & management of data Cheaper storage costs in the cloud SharePoint storage (SQL SAN + DR) can run as high as $5/GB! Windows Azure blob storage = $0.15/GB! Reusability Use Windows Azure to connect to remote applications Securely connect to enterprise on-prem CRM / ERP Centralize & expose business logic to multiple devices (SharePoint / mobile / on-prem)

Integrating SharePoint 2010 & Windows Azure Consume Windows Azure-based solution in SharePoint Content Editor Web Part Sandboxed Web Part Business Connectivity Services / External Content Type Search Enable Windows Azure-based solution to interact with SharePoint SharePoint Client Object Model (CSOM) REST / OData feeds SharePoint’s authentication configuration considerations Classic Mode Claims Based Authentication (ex: SharePoint Online)

SharePoint 2010 & Azure Integration Scenarios Simple SharePoint hosted IFRAME Moderate Client side solutions (CEWP) with JavaScript & jQuery BCS with SharePoint Designer 2010 Complex Programmatic BCS Consuming custom Azure-hosted services Securing custom Azure-hosted services with certificates Azure Access Control Services Pluggable workflow services Azure calling SharePoint via CSOM / REST / Web Services
