Adding Custom Action in Central Administration

In my last post I had mentioned about custom actions locations and IDs. In this post you will see how to add a custom action to Central Administration's Application Management.

For this we need to add 'Module' to VS 2010 SharePoint project. You can delete the text file which gets created by default when you create module. Now in the Elements.xml file add the below xml code.

There are 3 major steps while upgrading. 1. Plan and Prepare 2. Perform a database attach upgrade 3. Verify upgrade 1.2 Plan and Prepare Before we run any process to upgrade from Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010, we have to determine which upgrade approach to take. In our scenario, Database Attach Upgrade seems to be appropriate approach to follow. We can upgrade the content for the environment on a separate farm. The result is that you do not upgrade any of the services or farm settings. You can upgrade the databases in any order and upgrade several databases at the same time. While each database is being upgraded, the content in that database is not available to users. 1.2.1 Upgrade Approach A database attach upgrade enables you to move to...
