Hye i have installed Sharepoint Foundation 2010 in my one of server farm where on the server the visual studio functionality is limited because it is shell edition. So i want to create new sharepoint application i have to used my computer with full feture Visual Studio installed but the problem when i tried to create sharepoint project in My computer visual studio’ it pop up a error saying sharepoitn server should be intalled. So my question is that we can link the ther server with client pc so that my visual studio reconbnize it?
Thanks Mark for changing the title so that it would be easier for other user understand the content of this discussion. I am really suck at choosing a good title..haha…So it means i have install Sharepoint Foundatio 2010 at my development machine to create the SP application then test it.
Just changed the title so that it’s easier for others to understand what the discussion is about.Â
No, otherwise when you to do a “build” it will fail saying it can’t find the SP binaries. You could get away with just copying the binaries to your dev machine, but i wouldn’t recommend it. You really need to test your changes in Dev, before going to production (or other test servers).
Once they test out, copy the WSP to the server and use Powershell to deploy and install it.Â
So is that means i have install Sharepoint Foundation 2010 in development machine also? is there no other way to inlude the sharepointbinaries in development and link it to the server which sharepoint have been installed?
Hey there.Â
In order to do a build in Visual Studio you will need at least the SharePoint binaries on your development machine. The easiest way to achieve this is to install SharePoint on it. Once you have this, to move your solution you need to transport the features, code, web parts, list definition and so in in a WSP. Visual Studio can build this for you.Â
You may also want to drop into SPChat tomorrow (Thursday 16 May). Its going to be about the SPSD written by Matthias Einig. Have a read about SPSD first then come armed with questions.
