When webpart dll is stored in GAC and when i directories bin folder?
A hybrid approach is to deploy the DLL to the web application’s BIN directory, much like you would when using Code Access Security, but you would also set the trust level of that web application to “Full” from the standard “WSS_Minimal.” Changing this trust level is analogous to deploying the code to the GAC whereas the code is fully trusted by the server, but having the DLL in the BIN adds a level of inaccesibility by other web applications. This is my current preferred method for deploying customizations since it gives me more flexibility in properly scoping my solutions and at the same time not as complex as having to implement CAS for everything.

what is webpart.xml and how it is loaded to sharepoint site at different scope (site feature and site collection feature:difference)
.WebPart file is an XML file that provides an initial configuration to the
WebPart. For instance, if you were creating a WebPart to display an RSS feed that had an RSSURL as a
public property, you could specify an initial RSSURL property to point to a blog of your choice when the
WebPart is first dropped on the page and is yet unconfigured.
The .WebPart file also has sufficient information to tell SharePoint where to find the class library for
the WebPart. In doing so, if you open the .WebPart file, you will also see strings such as SharePoint that
are automatically replaced to actual names.

Content types
[type:(Common)]
What is Content types?And What are Site Columns?
Content types (content type: A reusable group of settings for a category of content. Use content types to manage the metadata, templates, and behaviors of items and documents consistently. Content types are defined at the site level and used on lists and libraries.) enable organizations to organize, manage, and handle content in a consistent way across a site collection (site collection: A set of Web sites on a virtual server that have the same owner and share administration settings. Each site collection contains a top-level Web site and can contain one or more subsites.). By defining content types for specific kinds of documents or information products, an organization can ensure that content is managed in a consistent way. Content types can be seen as templates that you apply to a list or library and you can apply multiple templates to a list or library so that they can contain multiple item or document types.
What are Different Content Types?
Site content types Content types are first defined for a site in the Site Content Type Gallery. Content types that are defined at the site level are called site content types. Site content types are available for use in any subsites of the site for which they have been defined. For example, if a site content type is defined for the top-level site in a site collection, it becomes available for use in lists and libraries across all sites in that site collection.
List content types Site content types can be added individually to lists or libraries and customized for use in those lists or libraries. When a site content type is added to a list or library, it is called a list content type. List content types are children of the site content types from which they are created. List content types can make your document libraries and lists more flexible, because a single list or library can contain multiple item types or document types, each of which can have unique metadata, policies, or behaviors. In order for a list or library to contain multiple item or document types, you must configure the list or library to allow multiple content types. The New command in that list or library then lists the types available for that list or library.

EventReceivers
[type Common question]
1)What is the event receiver?
Event Receivers represent a developer-extensibility mechanism that can be used to add behaviors to various elements such as lists and list items. An event receiver is a class that contains one or more methods known as event handlers that are executed automatically by WSS in response to events such as a user adding a column to a list or a user deleting a list item. The event handlers are typically written to perform data validation, to ensure data integrity, or to kick off custom business processing.
Which new event receiver classes were introduced in SP2010?
SPWorkflowEventReceiver
The SPWorkflowEventReceiver class is a new addition in SharePoint 2010. In previous
versions, it was not possible to create event receivers to handle workflow events such as
Starting or Completed. This presented a problem when further validation of processing
was required before a workflow could be started. With SharePoint 2010, four new workflow
events have been added: WorkflowCompleted, WorkflowPostponed, WorkflowStarted, and
WorkflowStarting.
When event receivers are called, generally speaking, they run in the security context of the
user who initiated the changes that caused the event to be fired. If the events have been
raised as the result of changes made by a workflow process, the events run in the context of
the user who either started the workflow or made the change that caused the workflow to
be started automatically. This behavior differs from previous versions of SharePoint, in
which events that were initiated by workflow changes always executed under the
SharePoint\System security context.
What are different Event Properties?
These base classes are SPItemEventProperties, SPListEventProperties, SPWebEventProperties, and
SPWorkflowEventProperties.
SPItemEventProperties
The SPItemEventProperties
class is used to communicate details of the item on which an
event was raised to the appropriate event receiver. Two important properties of the class that
warrant further explanation are AfterProperties and BeforeProperties. Earlier we looked at
synchronous events and asynchronous events, and we discovered that in SharePoint 2010, it
is possible to specify that events that would normally occur asynchronously can instead be
called synchronously. For the sake of clarity, let’s consider events that are synchronous by
default as before events, and events that are asynchronous by default as after events.
When a before event is raised, AfterProperties contains the item properties that will
be stored in the content database if the event is processed successfully. BeforeProperties
contains the item properties that are currently stored in the content database.
When an after event is raised, either synchronously or asynchronously, BeforeProperties
contains the values that were previously stored in the content database, whereas
AfterProperties contains the values that are currently stored in the content database.
CAUTION BeforeProperties works only for document items. For all other items, BeforeProperties will
always be null.
SPListEventProperties
The SPListEventProperties class is used to communicate the details of the list or field on
which an event was raised to the appropriate event receiver.
SPWebEventProperties
The SPWebEventProperties class is used to communicate the details of the web or site on
which an event was raised to the appropriate event receiver. The SPWebEventProperties
class contains both a ServerRelativeUrl and a NewServerRelativeUrl property. When the
event being handled is a before event (as defined above), the ServerRelativeUrl property
will contain the current URL of a site or web, and the NewServerRelativeUrl will contain
the URL that the site or web will have if the event is processed successfully.
When the event being handled is an after event, the ServerRelativeUrl property will
contain the previous URL of the site or web, whereas the NewServerRelativeUrl will contain
the current URL.
If the event is a Delete or Deleting event, the NewServerRelativeUrl will throw an
InvalidOperationException.
SPWorkflowEventProperties
The SPWorkflowEventProperties class is used to communicate the details of the workflow
instance on which an event was raised to the appropriate event receiver.
Shared Properties
The base SPEventPropertiesBase class defines a few interesting properties that are
inherited by all event properties classes.
First, the Status property allows code within an event receiver to specify the outcome of
an event. Possible outcomes are defined by the SPEventReceiverStatus enumeration and
include the following:
• Continue All is well; carry on as normal.
• CancelNoError Cancel the request but don’t present a notification to the caller.
• CancelWithError Cancel the request and raise an error message as specified by
the ErrorMessage property.
• CancelWithRedirectUrl Cancel the request and redirect the caller to the URL
specified in the RedirectUrl property.
How event receiver are binded to Lists or Items with features?
Additional Attributes in Sharepoint2010
• Scope = Web, or Site: Allows you to restrict the event receiver to the whole site collection or
just an individual SPWeb.
• RootWebOnly: Allows you to specify that this event receiver is attached to lists with
matching template IDs only on the root web of the site collection.
• ListUrl: Allows you to attach this event receiver to a specific list, which is what we would
like to do. Also, because you are being so specific about the specific list you wish to attach
this event receiver to, you will also need to delete the ListTemplateID attribute. Thus, go
ahead and modify the Receivers element ,as shown following:

Synchronous events:
· Occur before the event.
· Block the flow of code execution until your event handler completes.
· Provide you with the ability to cancel the events resulting in no after event (“...ed") being fired.
Asynchronous events:
· Occur after the event.
· Do not block the flow of code execution in SharePoint
Synchronous events have to wait until your code completes before returning the page, whereas Asynchronous events show the page immediately.

Authentication and authorisation in sharepoint
[type :Common question]
What is claimed based authentication?Explain FBA in authentication
When using FBA in SharePoint 2010, you should keep the following in mind:
• FBA identities are now claims based identity instead of generic ASP.NET identities.
• It is the STS that calls the membership provider to validate users and issues claims
tokens. This is done using standard hooks in the windows identity framework.
• ValidateUser() must be implemented in the membership providers.
• Roles are also converted to claims and can be used as SPUsers inside SharePoint.
• All SPPrincipals are available in all zones.
What is permission levels in sharepoint?
what are users and groups?
Forms authentication in sharepoint?
Forms Authentication with WSS 3.0 is to use the AspNetSqlMembershipProvider class that comes as a standard component of ASP.NET 2.0. To get up add the proper configuration data to the machine.config file and/or various web.config files on each front-end Web server.
The standard web.config file for WSS Web applications has the following entry:
By setting the impersonate attribute to true, WSS instructs the ASP.NET runtime to process all requests under the Windows security context of the current user. When you write code for a Web Part or application page that attempts to access an external resource, such as a file system resource, database call, or Web service call, it runs under the impersonated Windows identity. This enables the Windows authorization subsystem (local or remote) to determine whether it should grant or deny access.
Understanding the Windows security context is fairly straightforward when you are using the default Windows Authentication provider because its identity is synchronized to the same user account as the identity of the WSS security context. However, things aren’t so obvious when you are using forms authentication. Because forms authentication doesn’t involve authenticating against a Windows account, the Windows security content takes on the identity of the IUSR_MACHINENAME account, or the account specified in the Authentication Methods dialog box of IIS (the same dialog box that enables IIS anonymous access).
Feature and Element.xml
[type Common questions]
What is feature in sharepoint and different scopes?
Features allow you to add new functionality to SharePoint or make simple site customizations in an easy and consistent way. Features can be scoped to the Farm, Web Application, Site, and Web level depending on the purpose of the feature. The basis of a feature is implemented using a feature.xml file, but may also contain other supporting files. More information on Features can be found on the Microsoft MSDN

What is ListView By Query control In Sharepoint?How it works with SPQuery

query.Lists = @"

string queryText =
@"
query.Query = queryText;
DataTable table = site.GetSiteData(query);
foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows) {
Console.WriteLine(row["Title"].ToString());
}
{
Trace("LINQ Query with a Join", true);
using (
{
var songs = from song in context.Songs
where song.Artist.Title.Contains("Michael")
select song;
// context.Log = Console.Out; ---> This Line gives the CAML Query
foreach (var song in songs)
{
Trace(song.Title);
}
}
}
code is much easier to read and deal with than the CAML code. It is strongly typed, thus my errors are caught during compile time and not at runtime, and I can code more effectively using intellisense.
schema of the target site can potentially invalidate this generated data context.
Never use the IQueryable.Where extension method when querying ListItem objects. The reason is that the client object model first evaluates the result of the CAML query, retrieves the results, and then filters the resulting collection using LINQ. If you filter a very large list using LINQ instead of CAML, the client object model attempts to retrieve all items in the list before filtering with LINQ and either issues queries that require too much system resources, or the query fails. The reason is not clear unless you know how the client object model works internally. You must use CAML when querying list items.

1)Using Delegate
2)Calling finally and Idisposable Interface
these objects hold a reference to an SPRequest object, which in turn holds a
reference to a COM component. The SharePoint platform uses the COM component to
communicate with SQL Server. By implementing IDisposable, these objects can explicitly
close the connection to the database and properly clean up the COM component when the
.NET Framework objects are no longer required.

What are the key elements of Ribbon?
Xml which defines ribbon is present at
%SPROOT%\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL\XML\CMDUI.XML. An examination of the configuration
file reveals the key elements that make up the ribbon:
Tabs
The ribbon uses tabs to show or hide groups of controls. Tabs generally refer to a particular
functional area, and their visibility can be programmatically toggled so as to reduce the
number of irrelevant options presented to users. Visibility can only be toggled for tabs;
you can’t hide an individual control or group of controls within a tab. This is a key design
element of the ribbon because it helps to reduce user confusion by ensuring that the same
controls always appear in the same place.
Groups
Each tab can contain many controls. So that these controls can be further grouped into
logical categories, individual controls must exist within a group.
Templates
Groups make use of templates to determine the placement of individual controls within a
group. These templates can be shared between groups and assist in providing a consistent
user experience.
Controls
Controls are the lowest level of user interface element that can be added to the ribbon. The
types of controls are well-defined and cannot be extended; this ensures consistency of user
experience. Some of the most commonly used controls include buttons, checkboxes, and
drop-downs. A few task-specific controls include a color picker and an insert table control
that displays a grid that can be used to specify the dimensions of a table.
Contextual Tabs
In addition to the preceding components that are the basis of the ribbon user interface,
you’ll also see contextual elements such as ContextualTabs and ContextualGroup. As
mentioned, tabs can be hidden when not required. However, one of the design principles
behind the ribbon is that commands should be easily discoverable

MasterPage and Layouts Branding
[type(Common)]
What are different master pages in 2007/2010?
Within SharePoint 2010 are two main master pages: v4.master, which is used by most
of the pages generated by SharePoint and is found at %SPRoot%/Template/Global, and
Simplev4.master, which is used as a failsafe for a few pages such as Login.aspx, Error.aspx,
and AccessDenied.aspx. As you can imagine, given the extensive functionality of the
platform, v4.master contains many placeholders. Along with these main master pages are
also a few others such as Applicationv4.master, mwsdefault4.master, and dialog.master,
which are used to support specific aspects of functionality.
MasterPage token?
By default, both of these tokens refer to /_catalogs/masterpage/default.master. Their
values can be changed programmatically using the SPWeb object or by using SharePoint
Designer as follows:
1. In the Site Object pane, select Master Pages.
2. Right-click the master page to be used, and then select Set As Default Master Page
or Set As Custom Master Page.
In addition to the dynamic tokens ~masterurl/default.master and ~masterurl/custom.
master, SharePoint also provides two static tokens, ~site/ and
~sitecollection/. These tokens refer to the master page gallery
at the site level and site collection level, respectively.

Custom Fields
[type(common)]
What are custom fields?
What are different Sharepoint classes associated with Custom field development?
msdn Ref 1
msdn Ref 2
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;
namespace CustomField
{
class AddressField : BaseFieldControl
{
//code to intialize controls
//override createchildcontrol
//override value property
public override object Value
{
get
{
EnsureChildControls();
SPAddressValue field = new SPAddressValue();
field.StreetAddress = _address.Text;
field.ApartmentNumber = _apartmentNumber.Text;
field.City = _city.Text;
field.State = _state.Text;
field.Zip = _zip.Text;
return field;
}
set
{
if (value != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(value.ToString()))
{
SPAddressValue field = new SPAddressValue(value.ToString());
_address.Text = field.StreetAddress;
_apartmentNumber.Text = field.ApartmentNumber;
_city.Text = field.City;
_state.Text = field.State;
_zip.Text = field.Zip;
}
}
}
}
}
To hook up our custom BaseFieldControl to our SPField implementation, add the
following code to the SPFieldAddress.cs class:
public override BaseFieldControl FieldRenderingControl
{
get
{
BaseFieldControl control = new AddressField();
control.FieldName = this.InternalName;
return control;
}
}
How Custom fields are deployed?
Map Template\Xml and then create a new XML file in the mapped folder named
fldtypes_customfieldName.xml. When creating field definition files, it is important that
they be named appropriately. SharePoint loads files with names in the format
fldtypes_.xml
this xml file contains FieldNames and RenderPattern in Edit and Display mode
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace CustomField
{
public class SPAddressValue : SPFieldMultiColumnValue
{
public SPAddressValue() : base(5) { }
public SPAddressValue(string value) : base(value) { }
public string StreetAddress
{
get { return this[0];}
set { this[0] = value;}
}
public string ApartmentNumber
{
get { return this[1];}
}
public string City
{
get { return this[2];}
set { this[2] = value;}
}
public string State
{
get { return this[3];}
set { this[3] = value;}
}
public string Zip
{
get { return this[4];}
set { this[4] = value;}
}
}
}

What is Content Sources?
Search Connector Framework can be used to crawl and index
content from a wide variety of sources. Each source is defined as a separate entity within
SharePoint known as a content source.
What is Crawl Rules?
crawl rules. You can use crawl rules to exclude certain
files or folders, or to specify that particular credentials should be used when accessing
particular files or folders. An important new feature in SharePoint 2010 is the ability to
use regular expressions when defining crawl rules.

What is Query Object Model in SP2010?
Enterprise search in SharePoint 2010 provides a Query Object Model that allows developers
to use the capabilities of search programmatically within custom applications. The core class
of the Query Object Model is the Query abstract class, which has two concrete implementations:
the FullTextSqlQuery class, which can be used to issue full-text SQL syntax queries to the
search provider, and the KeywordQuery class, which can be used to issue keyword syntax
queries.
What are different Search Webparts?
• CoreResultsWebPart Used to render results of type RelevantResults.
• FederatedResultsWebPart Used to render results of type RelevantResults. The
key difference between the FederatedResultsWebPart and the CoreResultsWebPart
is that results in the latter can be paged by including a SearchPagingWebPart on
the page. Also, the FederatedResultsWebPart requires that a location is specified,
whereas, to provide backward compatibility, the CoreResultsWebPart automatically
uses the default search provider defined by the Search Service Application.
• PeopleCoreResultsWebPart Used to render the results of people searches. Derived
from the CoreResultsWebPart, results are displayed in a specific format and have
different sort options more appropriate to a people search.
• TopFederatedResultsWebPart Returns an aggregated set of top results from a
number of federated locations.
• VisualBestBetWebPart Displays results of type VisualBestBets. As described
earlier, Visual Best Bets are a feature of FAST Search, and although this web
part can be added to sites without FAST Search enabled, no results will be
displayed.
• HighConfidenceWebPart Displays results of type HighConfidenceResults as well
as SpecialTermResults.
• SearchStatsWebPart Displays information about the last query executed in the
CoreResultsWebPart.
• SearchSummaryWebPart Includes a summary of the search query. In effect this
implements “Did you mean” functionality, whereby if you start entering a keyword,
suggested keywords will be shown that will generate more results.
• SearchPagingWebPart Supports paging of the results displayed in a
CoreResultsWebPart.
