Fourth Chapter
In this chapter we discussed about Sanboxed Solutions. SharePoint 2010 makes it possible to deploy and maintained customizations at site collection level. Because it's possible to deploy on the site collection level we don't need the administrator to deploy. We can do it if we are a site collection owner. A sandboxed solution can do most things we also can with a full solution, as long as it scoped to the site collection where the solution is deployed. A restriction of using Sandboxed solution is that we cannot access external data from web services or databases. You can use in a Sandboxed solution a subset of the SPSite Object Model, excluded SPSecurity, SPSite construction an no access to Web application or farm.
SharePoint 2010 monitored the Sandboxed Solution. With different Metrics the solution can get points. Those points grow every time a actions is started. By default there is a maximum of 300 points. If the solution reach the 300 point the solution is turned down for the rest of the day. A list of how you get the points is listed in the table below.

Resource	Description	Units	Resources per Point	Limit
AbnormalProcessTerminationCount	Abnormally terminated process	count	1	1
CPUExecutionTime	CPU Execution Time for site	seconds	3,600	60
CriticalExceptionCount	Critical Exception Events	Events	10	3
InvocationCount	Solution Invocation Events	Events
PercentProcessorTime	% CPU usage by solution	%	85	100
ProcessCPUCycles	Solution CPU cycles	cycles	1 x10^11	1 x10^11
ProcessHandleCount	Windows handles count	items	10,000	1,000
ProcessIOBytes	Windows handles count	items	0	1 x10^8
ProcessThreadCount	Thread count in overall process	Thread instances	10,000	200
ProcessVirtualBytes	Memory consumed	Bytes	0	1.0x10^9
SharePointDatabaseQueryCount	Number of SharePoint database queries	Query instances	20	100
SharePointDatabaseQueryTime	Elapsed time to execute query	seconds	120	60
UnhandledExceptionCount	Number of unhandled exceptions	Unhandled exception instances	50	3
UnresponsiveProcessCount	Number of unresponsive processes	Unresponsive process instances	2	1

Fifth Chapter
In SharePoint 2010 there is some changes in the Master page. In 2007 we had a "default.master" for the site pages and a "*.master" in the _layouts hive for the application pages. The changes in SharePoint 2010 is that we use for the v3 UI a "default.master", and for the v4 UI a new master page named "v4.master". If you want to make your own master page SharePoint 2010 delivered a "minimal.master" file where only the minimal placeholders are added so you can change it how you want.

The most important

tags in "v4.master" are:

• s4-ribbonrow: this is the container for the server ribbon and the site actions menu.
• s4-titlerow: this is the container for the title, tags and main navigation.
• s4-leftpanel: this is the container for the left navigation and displays the Quick Launch.
• mso-contenttable: this is the container for the content of the page instance.

To add a custom action to the Site Administration in Site Settings you can add some CustomAction element to the "elements.xml". Information you need to add in the CustomAction element are a Id, GroupId, Location, Richts, Sequence, Title, Description and in the element you can add a UrlAction element with an url. There are some more items you can fill in the element, if you want to know with see: "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms460194.aspx". It is also possible to build your custom action in codebehind and add it to the flyout menu.

If you add a Customized site pages it runs in Safe Mode. Those Customized site pages don't support inline code. You van only add controls that are registered as Safe Controls in the web.config. If you add a Module section in the "elements.xml" and put in a set of File elements each File element provisions a instance of a page.

Finally the last part of this chapter. New in SharePoint 2010 is the Ribbon and you can extend the Ribbon with customactions. On the same way as you add Custom Actions to the Site Settings you can add customactions to the ribbon. For the button on the Ribbon you need to define a CommandUIHandler that specifies the name of the Command and the javascript to execute or you have to create a custom page component with JavaScript that executes the necessary JavaScript and eventually executes calls to the server.
You can send a message to the statusbar or notification area of the Ribbon. If you want to use those elements you have to use some javascript calls like:
SP.UI.Status.addStatus('Hello World Status Message'); // shows the status bar
SP.UI.Notify.addNotification('Hello World Notification Message'); // shows the notification area

Sixth Chapter
In this chapter we discussed how to make Custom Web Parts. Most of this chapter was already in SharePoint 2007 and we looked only as a reminder to this part.
