20. Object Model OptionsWeb LevelSPWeb.UIVersion (int values of 3 or 4)Site CollectionSPSite.UIVersionConfigurationEnabled“Preview Mode” if in V4 and UIVersionConfigurationEnabled==true

21. Versioned ControlsAllows for rendering of version specific content.During RenderAt Load Time – handles child controls properly

22. CSS ChangesWhat has changed in SharePoint CSS?Almost everything!Any customizations that depend on V3 CSS such as master pages will need to be redesigned to work correctly in V4.Rendering based on XHTML WCAG 2.0 AA level compliant

23. Custom ActionsNo more toolbars in V4 UI ModeToolbar actions are movedMoved to Custom Commands on the ribbon.It is possible to show ribbon and toolbar by modifying the list form web part properties.Actions with code behind(ControlAssembly, ControlClass, or ControlSrc attribute) don’t migrate to Custom Commands tab.

24. Upgrading master pagesRemove unnecessary controls, which are replaced with ribbonPublishing Console, Site actions, sign in and log-in controlsAdd new place holdersPlaceHolderQuickLaunchTop, PlaceHolderQuickLaunchBottomAdd the Ribbon to pageAdd additional controls to pageSPPageManager, ScriptManager, ScriptLinkModify CSS classes based on your UI

25. Upgrading themesOld themes are not compatible with 2010New themes files have to be createdOld themes can be used with legacy UI rendering mode before upgrade to 2010 UI is done

26. Upgrade changed contentIf SharePoint Designer has been used to customize site content, changed files are in database, not in file systemTwo optionsReset the content to be in uncustomized state and provide updates using Feature FrameworkUse SPD to manually update the changed files

27. List view thresholdQueries that return/touch large numberof list items may fail. Thresholds are configurable through the Central Administration site.

28. Large List ConsiderationsThis can bite youNeed it to surface in DevelopmentTest as a non-admin userUse realistic data volumes in development and test serversRefactor code to use ContentIterator, if possible

29. Using Existing Code All SharePoint 2007 code in all processes will work without recompilationAchieved by using machine level binding redirectionsBinding redirections will work also for any custom code, which is not running under IIS

31. Deprecated API's Numerous API’s have been deprecated. Recompile your application for 2010 and you will see warnings for any affected API’s within your application.Deprecated doesn’t always mean unsupported!Only affect will be a compiler warningMost API’s deprecated in 2007 are still in 2010Microsoft will not invest in these API’s in the future and will remove deprecated APIs after next version

32. Deprecated API's ExamplesSPFarm.CreateMessage: Use the SPFarm.Create method that takes a passphrase.SPVirtualServerMessage: Use SPWebApplication or SPIisSettings instead.Shared Service Provider Code in some level

33. Path and registry issues Path to the SharePoint Hive has changedC:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extension\14Custom code that references \12 should be updatedCustom code references to 12 registry keys should be updated
