What is the Problem The big problem in SharePoint 2010/2013 to write the custom error to log files, whenever the error comes, the developer grab the associate correlation GUID and see the associated error in 14 hive folder. The log file also contains the bunch of other information as well. It would be great if somehow I can develop the custom logging feature for our project that is only specific to my project. It will reduced my effort and it would be a big win for me as a developer. Solution we would able to solve this problem by using 3rd party open source DLL “log4net” . We have written some custom classes to override the base function that would help us to write SharePoint logs into the 14 hive. These classes contain the logic for generating the logs under the same location, where the SharePoint logs are generated i.e 14 hives under different folder (This will help to get the exact information during the error and trace).

Co-authoring in SharePoint Server 2010 addresses these issues by making it possible for multiple users to work on a document, at any time, without interfering with each other's changes. This approach streamlines many common document-collaboration scenarios. For example: Two or more authors are working on different parts of a composite document. While one author works on his section of the document, another author can work on hers, without either interrupting their work. Several authors are working on a composite slide show. Each author can add slides to the presentation and edit them, instead of working in isolation and trying to merge several documents and make them consistent all at the same time. A document is sent out to several experts and stakeholders, each of whom has some edits or additions. No user’s edits are lost, because they are all working on a central, server-stored document.

Full Trust Proxy:  Sandboxed solution to execute an action that is ordinarily not available to sandboxed solutions . One of these techniques is to create a special kind of operation that runs in a full trust process, but that can be called from a sandboxed solution. The operation is deployed as a farm solution by a farm administrator who trusts it and is prepared to let sandboxed solutions call it. These operations are called   full-trust proxy operations. ( Microsoft Definition ). Other words: Full trust proxy is a farm solution that runs Outside the Sandbox Solution.  Sandbox Solution uses that assembly and call Execute method to perform the operation which was out the scope of sandbox solution. The class inherits from SPProxyOperation .  Full trust Proxy Input parameters used as serialize class (used “Serializable” attribute) that inherits from SPProxyOperationArgs  Register proxy with User Code Service during Feature activation.  ...
