Content Migration Tasks

Applies to: SharePoint Foundation 2010

Content migration is a highly flexible process in SharePoint Foundation. Depending on the method you use (programming against the Deployment namespace APIs, using SOAP calls to a Web service, or moving an entire site using the Windows PowerShell), you have extensive control of what content is migrated and how it is migrated.

Using the SharePoint Foundation object model exposed in the Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment namespace to migrate content at a granular level requires that you perform related tasks. This section provides documentation of some of these tasks.
