File Share Options in SharePoint

Option 1. You can use the out of the box features of SharePoint to upload files
Option 2. You can ‘index’ your content in SharePoint but keep the files on other storage
Option 3. You can use a migration solution to transfer your files with all the associated metadata

SharePoint BLOB Remoting Techniques

A. SharePoint EBS
1- The EBS technique is deprecated in SharePoint 2010, but it is still supported.
2- It is based on Legacy COM architecture. The COM interface is complicated.
3- It does not have orphaned BLOB garbage collection.

B. SQL RBS
1- The RBS techniques is only supported in SharePint 2010.
2- It is based on .NET COM architecture. The .NET interface is well documented.
3- It supports orphaned BLOB garbage collection.

The RBS technique can be used with either of option 2 or option 3.

C. Stubs or HTML Redirects
1- It involves writing to the SharePoint database directly that is not supported.
2- HTML Redirects are not compatible with SharePoint OM use.

LINQ to SharePoint 2010

Comments Off on LINQ to SharePoint 2010[Author: Category: SharePoint ]

The LINQ to SharePoint Provider is defined in the Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq namespace. It translates LINQ queries into Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) queries. It is no longer necessary for developers to know how to write CAML queries. LINQ queries can be used in server code. To query from a client application, use SharePoint’s support for ADO.NET Data Services.

The gateway class for the LINQ to SharePoint provider is Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq.DataContext which represents the data of a SharePoint Foundation Web site.

It is parallel in use and function to the System.Data.Linq.DataContext class in the LINQ to SQL provider. Just as the latter class has a GetTable method that returns a Table(Of TEntity) object that implements System.Linq.IQueryable(Of T), the Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq.DataContext class has a GetList(Of T) method that returns an EntityList(Of TEntity) class that implements System.Linq.IQueryable(Of T). It is objects of type EntityList(Of TEntity) that are queried.

The following is an example of the use of LINQ to query SharePoint Foundation.
