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.

OK, so my bosses want to know what our priorities are for this year. Well guess what? I already have that “project list”.

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.

Last post we looked closely at what the problem with SharePoint is and came up with a list of what factors have contributed to the challenges organizations face around SharePoint:
In this post, I want to get constructive and turn to one possible solution to the SharePoint problem: what would SAP do?

Don’t get me wrong, SharePoint is a fantastic tool that can offer lots of benefits to an organization—nobody’s going to dispute that. But despite the potential benefits SharePoint offers, it’s equally hard to dispute that many organizations have struggled to realize these benefits.
In this post, which is the first in a short series, we’ll unpack some of the reasons why organizations by and large haven’t gotten the returns they thought they would (and that Microsoft promised) from SharePoint. Subsequent posts will dig into the solution, but until you understand the scope of the problem, it’s difficult to agree upon how to solve it…so here we go.
