Difference between SharePoint 2010 List and Document Library

No comments


Hi Guys,


Here we have some  difference between Lists and Libraries in SharePoint



Lists Libraries
SharePoint lists are web based editable tables.It gives us the ability to work with structured data. SharePoint libraries are a list of files.
List is going to store the same sorts of data that you would normally place into a spreadsheet. Library is used to store documents.
 A list contains items that are collections of fields/properties/columns.optionally can have one or more attachment. A library is a list ,but have one and exactly one file associated with each item .A library item also has fields/properties/columns.
 SharePoint list doesnot support check in and check out options.  SharePoint Library supports check in and check out options.
When the user searches for a keyword in a document , if the document is in a list then search returns the list item as the result.  When the user searches for a keyword in a document , if the document is in a library then they find the document listed in the search results.
Example of SharePoint lists are Contact lists,Task lists etc. Examples of DocumentLibraries are PictureLibrary,FormLibrary etc.
