Enabling sandboxed solutions in a SharePoint farm is simple because it requires enabling only a single Windows service, the User Code Service. The User Code Service is responsible for managing the execution of sandboxed solutions across the farm.
What’s the difference between a sandbox solution and a farm solution?
Sandbox solution: Sandboxed solutions, which are hosted in the SharePoint user code solution worker process (SPUCWorkerProcess.exe), run code that can only affect the site collection of the solution. Because sandboxed solutions do not run in the IIS worker process, neither the IIS application pool nor the IIS server must restart.
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 uses a combination of features, solution galleries, solution monitoring, and a validation framework to enable sandboxed solutions. Visual Studio supports sandboxed solutions through a Boolean project property called Sandboxed Solution.
How is a sandboxed solution packaged for installation?
Like a farm solution, a sandboxed solution is packaged for installation in a solution package (.wsp) file. Each site collection has a solution gallery that is used to store all sandboxed solutions.
How are sandboxed solutions managed in Visual Studio 2010?
Sandboxed solutions are managed through a new Solution Gallery at the site collection level and farm-level tools found in Central Administration. Additionally, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 can deploy solutions directly to the sandbox during development.
Is there a limit to how long a sandboxed solution can be completed?
Per Request, with the Request Penalized: There is a hard limit to how long a sandboxed solution can take to be completed. By default, this is 30 seconds. If a sandboxed solution exceeds the limit, the application domain that handles the request (but not the sandboxed worker process) is terminated.
This topic describes the system resource usage limitations that Microsoft SharePoint Foundation imposes on sandboxed solutions.
How to change the deployment target in SharePoint?
Figure 4-1 The SharePoint Customization Wizard allows you to choose between a sandboxed solution and a farm solution. After you create the project in Visual Studio, you can alter the deployment target by editing the Sandboxed Solution property of the project in the project property sheet.
What’s the difference between a sandboxed solution and a farm solution?
Figure 4-2 The Sandboxed Solution property affects the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute. From the perspective of Visual Studio, there is no difference between a sandboxed solution and a farm solution. Both solutions are packaged and built in exactly the same manner.
Can a sandbox be used to enforce security boundaries?
The Sandbox Solution framework provides a mechanism for executing user-provided code outside of the IIS worker process. The Sandbox Solution framework should not be used as a mechanism for enforcing security boundaries when executing user code.
