Business Connectivity Services (BCS)

1.SharePoint 2010 which is replaced the functionality of BDC(Business data

Catalog) in SharePoint 20072.The External content type which is in SharePoint Designer 2010 can easily

connect SQL database without creating any XML file in BCS.

3. In MOSS 2007, Business Data Connector (BDC) was the tool of choice for

integrating external data sources into SharePoint. BDC was available only

to customers who purchased the enterprise version of MOSS 2007.Furthermore, BDC was limited to only reading data from the external data

sources.

Business Connectivity Services (BCS)

4. Business Connectivity Services (BCS), which replaces the BDC

functionality in SPS 2010, goes much further. Not only is BCS going to beavailable with the free, base version of SPS 2010 (renamed to Windows

SharePoint Foundation from Windows SharePoint Services), it now

supports updating, deletion and insertion of data into an external data

source. Another key advantage of BCS is that it will enable SharePoint

Lists to be created directly based on a database table.

DEVELOPMENT TOOLS IMPROVEMENTS

As an application platform, Microsoft provides multiple tools, to configure

and customize SharePoint 2010.

These tools provide an array of capabilities for a variety of user roles,based on the complexity of the application being created and include a

browser, InfoPath 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010, and Visual Studio 2010.

Combined, they provide the ability to quickly create powerful enterprise

applications which leverage the capabilities of the SharePoint platform.

SharePoint Development Toolset


18/32

DEVELOPMENT TOOLS

Web Browser

SharePoint 2010 provides users the capability to use a web browser to

configure SharePoint entities, such as lists, workflows, and webs, in such a

way so that they can be reused and re-deployed within other SharePoint

locations.

Users can configure a SharePoint site to contain specific lists, content

types, workflows, and predefined data through the browser and then save

the site as a template.

The site template can then be made available for other users and, when a

site is created from this template, it will look and contain the same

SharePoint entities as the original site. Using the browser to save

templates allows an easy means to create consistent and re-deployable

SharePoint entities with no coding involved.

INFOPATH



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

InfoPath Designer 2010 can be used to quickly create

applications which allow users to interact with SharePoint

2010 , external list data and SharePoint workflows. Users can

design forms to replace the existing SharePoint list, external

list, and workflow forms with greater control over the

business rules, data validation, and formatting of the

information.

InfoPath also allows for multiple views of the same data andthe ability to hide or display parts of the form based on

business rules.


21/32

INFOPATH



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

To quickly get started, InfoPath Designer includes predefined

form templates so users designing forms can quickly and

easily generate new forms. Also included are predefined

lookup fields, which allow the ability to lookup information

from another SharePoint list. Customized forms can also

include the pre-population of form data and the ability to

interact with data from multiple lists.

The forms generated in InfoPath Designer, once published toSharePoint, can be displayed within the InfoPath client

application, or displayed in a web browser via Forms Services.


22/32

INFOPATH



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

InfoPath forms can leverage the existing SharePoint web part

infrastructure, allowing forms to not only be hosted within

web parts, but also communicate and share data with other

web parts on the page.

Finally, forms published to SharePoint 2010 are portable.

Saving a list as a template which uses a custom InfoPath form,

as a solution file, ensures that the InfoPath form will be used

when new lists are created from the template.

SharePoint Designer



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

SharePoint Designer 2010 has been much improved. New

capabilities for the creation of BDC entities, list schemas, and

custom actions have been added and major improvements

have been made with regard to designing workflows and

editing pages, and new workflow actions are made available.

SharePoint Designer 2010 leverages the WSP solution package

format, allowing SharePoint Designer 2010 to take advantage

of configurations made by a browser and, additionally, allowsartifacts generated by SharePoint Designer 2010 to be

imported in to Visual Studio 2010.


25/32

SharePoint Designer



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

SharePoint administrators also have greater control over how

SharePoint Designer 2010 is used within their environment.

Administrators can block the ability to modify master pages

and also prevent SharePoint Designer 2010 from being used

at either the site collection or web application level.


26/32

Visual Studio 2010



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

Visual Studio 2010 contains extended capabilities for

developers to create rich applications on the SharePoint 2010

platform. Many improvements have also been made in Visual

Studio 2010 to increase developer productivity as well as take

advantage of SharePoint 2010 functionality. These

improvements help make it easier for .NET developers to not

only create SharePoint solutions, but also package, deploy,

and integrate SharePoint artifacts created by multiple toolsinto one central environment.


27/32

Visual Studio 2010



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

Improvements have been made to Visual Studio 2010 so that

developers can quickly set up a project and more easily write

and debug code. Project templates are available in Visual

Studio 2010 for common SharePoint project development

items such as web parts, event receivers, workflows, and list

definitions. These templates set up the project so that

developers can more quickly start writing code, adding

stubbed-out class files, assembly references, and making theproper configurations, such as those required for a Sandboxed

solution.


28/32

Visual Studio 2010



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

New visual designers have been added to aid in the

development of workflows, building BDC models, creating

application pages, and designing features and solution

packages. These designers reduce the complexity and

increase productivity for both SharePoint and .NET

developers. Also, connections to SharePoint 2010 sites can be

made directly from the Server Explorer, allowing developers a

common view into all of the components that make up theSharePoint site.


29/32

Visual Studio 2010



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

Although SharePoint development is much more than just the

creation of custom web parts, the development experience

for the creation of web parts has vastly improved for

developers.

With Visual Studio 2010, developers now have the ability to

visually design and create SharePoint 2010 web parts,

decreasing the learning curve of .NET developers new to

SharePoint development, and increasing the productivity ofexisting SharePoint developers.


30/32

Visual Studio 2010



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.

Additionally, Visual Studio 2010 automatically creates the

SharePoint solution file for the web part and provides a fluid

experience for creating, deploying and debugging these web

parts. Artifacts created from other applications can be

imported into Visual Studio to be extended and/or placed

under source control.

For example, declarative artifacts created in SharePoint

Designer 2010 can be imported to Visual Studio 2010 andextended with code and added to the Team Foundation (TFS)

repository.


31/32

Visual Web Part Designer



06042 www.trinay.com 570-575-0475.


32/32

Visual Studio 2010



Once integrated, the capabilities of TFS can be leveraged to

provide full Application Lifecycle Management for SharePoint

2010 team projects, including team and continuous builds,

traceability of requirements through code check-ins,

adherence to and compliance with coding best practices, and

visibility into the overall health and stability of the code base.

To further accommodate the requirements of specific

projects, the templates, connection nodes, and projectdeployment steps are all customizable and extensible.
