API Changes from MCMS 2002

  • Article

The MCMS 2002 APIs have been completely rewritten for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to work with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. Changes to the MCMS 2002 APIs include:

  • The MCMS 2002 APIs have been replaced with the following new namespaces:

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Administration

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Administration.WebServices

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Design.WebControls

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Fields

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.WebControls

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.WebControls.EditingMenuActions

    • Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.WebServices

  • The COM-based API has been entirely replaced by managed code. This is a major change for the site deployment API.

  • You can access many more features by using the API than you could in MCMS 2002, such as changing user rights programmatically.
