SharePoint 2010 Business Connectivity Services and Offline Synchronisation – Developer Video How-To

January 25, 2010 by Joel Jeffery

You can now find us on iTunes as “joelblogs tv” :o) and also on blip.tv.

Welcome to the second in my SharePoint 2010 series of how-to videos for developers. This one is all about Business Connectivity Services, the technology previously known as the Business Data Catalog.

The BDC in SharePoint 2007 was pretty cool. It allowed us to quickly create read-only forms from existing line of business, or back-end, systems. The technique also allowed us to index and then search data in these back-end systems in a structured way.

In this video, I’ll show how easy it is to work with SharePoint 2010 Business Connectivity Services. We’ll use SharePoint Designer 2010 to hook up with an old friend – the Northwind database – and bring a SQL table of Contacts into SharePoint.

We’ll also see how SharePoint does the hard work for us in creating not just read only, but all the CRUD operations – create, retrieve, update, delete. It also creates InfoPath and browser forms for us, without writing a single line of code. Lastly we’ll have a look at the offline functionality of the BCS and SharePoint Workspace, including the magic of conflict resolution.

SharePoint 2010 Solution Sandbox – Developer How-To

January 15, 2010 by Joel Jeffery

It’s been my pleasure over the last few weeks to teach SharePoint 2010 to an audience of developers for Microsoft during their Ignite event in Dublin.

One of my favourite features of the news development platform has got to be Sandbox Solutions and the User Code Service. This allows developers to write code, packaged up as a SharePoint .WSP solution, and deploy it at the site collection level in a security sandbox. This feature is aimed at hosted and multi-tenant SharePoint customers, and also the incredibly security conscious.

In this video walk through, I shows developers how to create a simple Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Sandbox Solution in Visual Studio 2010, I show what works and what doesn’t inside the Sandbox, and lastly how to write a custom validator for other developers’ solutions.
