SharePoint 2010 Workflow: Creating a simple Bid / No Bid Decision Process Workflow
Implementing workflow with SharePoint starts with formally defining a process into UML. Doing so makes all the steps and their logical consequences clear. The first and most frequent mistake I see made is not identifying the true stakeholders in the process. More often than not sales submit the data to administration who then re purpose some or most of it for the next person in the chain and so. Following the trail can prove to be rather revelatory to say the least!
Once sign off on the workflow is attained there are decisions to be made.
The first order of business is to look at the final of the workflow and determine if any of the out of the box workflows be used…
The out of the box workflows in SharePoint 2010 are approval based i n nature. The good news is that
they are easy to work with via the browser allowing you to specify due dates etc. The better news is that you can now use SharePoint Designer 2010 to re mold these workflows as you need. You can copy and then edit these, allowing you to add in your own fields, task assignment methods, etc. You can also reuse these workflows with different lists.
Can SharePoint Designer 2010 handle the features required for this workflow to function?
Moving large numbers of records with SqlBulkCopy
Sometimes you have to move large amounts of data in, out, or around SQL. There are plenty of ways to do that but few are as fast as using SqlBulkCopy. It is not fast. It is blazingly fast. As with anything else it has its place and limitations but it is well worth understanding at the least.
It is pretty easy to work with as the below example shows…
static void CopyData(DataTable sourceTable, SqlConnection destConnection)
{
// new method: SQLBulkCopy:
using (SqlBulkCopy s = new SqlBulkCopy(destConnection))
{
s.DestinationTableName = “SalesCopy”;
s.NotifyAfter = 10000;
s.SqlRowsCopied += new SqlRowsCopiedEventHandler(s_SqlRowsCopied);
s.WriteToServer(sourceTable);
s.Close();
}
}
When used properly it can make seemingly large data volume transactions trivial.
SharePoint 2010 Reference: Software Development Kit
The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Software Development Kit (SDK) includes documentation and code samples for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 and for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, which builds upon the SharePoint Foundation 2010 infrastructure. The documentation includes detailed descriptions of the technologies that SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Foundation 2010 provide for developers, reference documentation for the server and client object models, and step-by-step procedures for using these technologies and object models and programming with them.
This SDK also includes best practices and setup guidance to help you get started with your own custom applications that build and extend upon the SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010 platforms.
Silverlight: Getting Started
Silverlight is not the easiest thing to get good at. In fact even if you are a seasoned .NET developer I would still call it a non trivial venture. Over at http://jesseliberty.com/2010/06/03/getting-started-with-silverlight-a-path-through-the-learning-material/ there’s a good short list on what to do if you want / or have to get into Silverlight development. Essentially he, Jesse Liberty, says:
“1. Go to the GetStarted page and download the components you need
2. Work your way through #1-5 in the “Start Learning Silverlight” section on that same page
3. Take a look at my Key Topic on Starting Silverlight (see the sidebar on the right)
4. Take a look at the Silverlight How-Do-I videos, picking subjects that seem interesting to you.
5. Join the forums, especially the Getting Started forum. They are the very best place to get fast answers. See my Note On Posting Questions On Forums.“
