Installing a Sandbox Solution

If you cannot install ComponentOne Studio for SharePoint on a server farm, you can request the Sandbox version and do a Sandbox installation. To request a Sandbox version, email sandbox@componentone.com.

A Sandbox install has the following advantages:

• A site collection administrator who has the appropriate rights (upload solutions) can deploy without involving IT.
• Nothing is added to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC)
• It can be deployed on Microsoft Office 365.

Sandbox installs have the following drawbacks:

• The Save Web Part button is not included in the On-Board Designer, so changes will be lost, unless saved using SharePoint's Save function.
• You can only create connections between ComponentOne Web Parts; you cannot create connections to other web parts. For more information about connecting web parts, see Connecting Web Parts.

To install ComponentOne Studio for SharePoint Sandbox Solution

After you have downloaded the installation file (C1WebParts_version number.wsp):

1. If a new version of ComponentOne Studio for SharePoint Sandbox is available, download it and follow the install instructions. Once it is listed in the Solutions Gallery, your version should be automatically upgraded. If not, click the drop-down arrow next to the file name and choose Upgrade. 
2. Choose Site Actions > Site Settings.
3. Under Galleries, choose Solutions.
4. Click the Solutions ribbon tab to expose the toolbar buttons.
5. Click the Upload Solution button on the Solutions ribbon. In the Upload Document dialog box, browse to the install file location. Click OK. The install should activate immediately, if it does not, click the drop-down arrow next to the file name and choose Activate.

A few notes about the Sandbox Solution:

• When you insert a web part on a page (see Adding a Web Part to a Page), the sandbox web parts will appear in the Categories list as ComponentOne Studio for SharePoint (Sandbox).

• The On-Board Designer will not include the Save Web Part button. To save changes to your web part, first make them in the OBD, then click the drop-down on the right of the Web Part and choose Edit Web Part to open Sharepoint's Properties List. Click OK. For details on the Properties List, see Changing the Appearance of Your Web Part.

• If a new version of the ComponentOne Studio for SharePoint Sandbox Solution is released, download and install it. If it does not upgrade immediately, click the drop-down arrow next to the file name and choose Upgrade. All of the web parts in the Sandbox that have already been placed on pages will automatically upgrade.
