Deployment of Sharepoint sandbox solution wsp

Manually Deployment of Sharepoint sandbox solution wsp 

One of the most interesting new feature of SharePoint 2010 is something called Sandboxed Solutions.

Think of it this way. In 2007 we have solution packages, WSP files that are packaged up with all kinds of goodness (Master Pages, InfoPath Forms, Web Parts, Custom Actions, etc.). Whenever we want to deploy these, we need to hunt down our IT guy and hand him over the package to run on the server and deploy, using the farm account. Only then can we activate the feature on our site or site collection. And then there’s the hassle of retracting, redeploying, etc. for upgrades.

But the Question is how to deploy Sharepoint sandbox solution 

here is the two different approach for this :)

Approach 1: 

Go to Site Actions->Site Settings and under Galleries

Click on Solutions

On next window click to upload solution
