Understanding SharePoint 2010 solutions
SharePoint 2010 provides two types of solutions, namely Farm Solutions and Sandboxed Solutions.
Farm Solutions and Sandboxed Solutions
When a solution package is deployed to the farm's solution store, it is called a 'farm solution' and when it is deployed to the solution store of a site collection, it is called a 'sandboxed solution'. The difference between SharePoint 2010 solutions can be understood in the following ways:
- The components in a farm solution generally run easily with full trust, while the components of a sandboxed solution run under several significant code execution and resource access restrictions.
- Only a farm administrator can install a farm solution while a site collection administrator can deploy a sandboxed solution.
- Each sandboxed solution must conform to certain hard limits on the system resources that it can use. And all of the sandboxed solutions in a specific site collection, taken collectively, also must conform to certain resource restrictions.
How to create a new site in SharePoint 2010?
Creating a SharePoint 2010 solutions requires a membership of a site group that has the Create Sub sites permission from server administrator.
- A SharePoint site can be created in few simple steps to share documents and keep track of a project, discussions and contacts. Creating a page involves many steps including Web Parts, also known as a Web Widgets to the page. The Web Part gives additional features to specify and modify the appearance of the web page.
- Once a page is created, the site administrator can add it to the Quick Launch Bar or it can be found on All Site Content from the left-hand side navigation. The new page will have its own unique web address which can be accessed by anyone with permission from the administrator.
- Thus more web pages can be created easily in this way.
- To create a new page, click Site Actions, then select New Page.
- After naming the page, a blank content area appears. Choose your page layout by selecting it from the drop-down list under Text layout.
- When an image is inserted in the web page, SharePoint uploads the image from your local drive to the Web site. Now that the SharePoint Website is on a server, the image will be loaded onto the server automatically and becomes a part of the site.
- When you delete a page, SharePoint will not actually remove it from your site. It will send it to the Recycle Bin, from where you can recover it later if you change your mind.
