The scope of a sandboxed solution allows the site collection administrator to activate / deactivate it. There may be some cases where the farm administrator needs to have a look before activating the solution. For such purposes, Sandbox Solution Validator is used. In this final blog post of Sandbox solutions, we will look at HOW TO IMPLEMENT A SANDBOX SOLUTION VALIDATOR. Although it’s a feature that is not used often, it has proved to be handy when you really need to implement a rule for solution activation.
To create a solution validator you need to follow the steps below:
Now we are aware of the architecture and execution model of Sandboxed solutions. This blog is dedicated to a sample sandbox solution. Do you think it is required? I don’t think so because it’s a very straight forward task which doesn’t motivates me to dedicate a full blog J. Instead we’ll take another topic – Sandbox Proxy or Full Trust Proxy.
If you want to execute full trust code in a sandbox solution then the only way of doing so is to write a Sandbox Proxy. Click to continue »

In my previous post, SharePoint 2010 Sandbox Solution 1 – Overview of Sandboxed Solution, I gave an overview of Sandboxed solutions. Now I’d like to peek into the architecture and execution model.
Sandbox solution is often called user solution. The primary API for sandbox solution is Microsoft.SharePoint.UsserCode and the service that takes care of it is SharePoint 2010 User Code Host.
The first question that normally arises is where the assemblies are deployed – The assembly is packaged in a wsp file and the wsp is uploaded in the solution gallery. When, for the first time, the assembly is required (e.g. a page is accessed which contains a webpart of the sandboxed solution) then the assembly is extracted from the gallery and copied to the file system (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\UCCache) of the server that is handling the request. This may not be web front end server as it is handled by User Code Host Service. Click to continue »
If you want to redirect a page visitors have bookmarked, use this solution. It is not considered best practice, but it is a quick way of redirecting a page.
Edit the page you would like the redirect to be on.

OK, so my bosses want to know what our priorities are for this year. Well guess what? I already have that “project list”.
Now I just want to give them a visual of the projects and projects will be colored depending on their status.

SharePoint aims at reducing the involvement of IT team in the solution lifecycle. Deployment and monitoring of custom solutions is one area where Farm administrators (IT team) are still putting a significant amount of effort. This effort can be reduced (I would use the word REDUCED effort instead of no effort because of the concept of Solution Validation) if the business needs can be fulfilled by Sandboxed solution.
In this series of blogs, I’ll be covering following topics:
I’m in the middle of a series of posts about the SharePoint problem. You should check out the first post, The Problem with SharePoint, to get a full overview of the problem, but at a high level, it boils down to this: SharePoint is a fantastic tool that can offer lots of benefits to an organization; but despite these potential benefits, many organizations have not only struggled to realize these benefits, but have put themselves in a worse position after deploying SharePoint than they were before.
Last post we took a high-level look at what a solution to this problem might be, which was to ask yourself what would SAP do? That is, treat SharePoint like the enterprise platform it is rather than like an Office product.
In the next couple of posts, we’ll get a little closer to the ground and step through a framework for rolling out SharePoint that treats the right way and gives you the best chance for success.
