Client Object Model Limitations

You must handle synch/update semantics incode

No elevation of privilege capabilities Requests are throttled .net CLR has sync method;

Silverlight CLR and Jscript are async

Limited subset of Server OM functionality You only get what you ask for nothing more

(but sometimes less)

.Net CLR Client OM

Provides easy access from remote .NET clientsto manipulate SharePoint data

Can be utilized from managed code also from

office clients etc. Assemblies

Silverlight in SharePoint 2010

Native Silverlight web part allows for compilationand deployment of XAP-only solutions

One-click deployment from Visual Studio 2010 Web Parts can contain custom properties that

are sent to Silverlight via the InitParams property Abstracted visual design in Expression (make

the designer do it!)

JavaScript Client OM

Provides similar functionality to .NET/Silverlight COM fromJavaScript/ECMAScript

Identical structure Initialize Context -> Specify Items -> Load Objects ->

Execute Query Limited to current site context (no cross-site scripting) Asynchronous (like Silverlight) Be aware of syntax changes

get_web() get_lists() get_item()
