Today, I discovered the Sync services for ADO.NET … exactly what I needed for a project. Not many people know that it's part of the RTM version of Visual Studio 2008 (ever tried to add that “Local Database Cache” to your Windows Forms project ?). Basically, it helps you synchronizing data between a client & a server data store. It is particularly useful in so-called “occasionally connected applications“, which usually embed a lightweight database to have a local cache of data.
Here are a few links to get started:
- MSDN – Introduction to Occasionally Connected Applications using Sync Services for ADO.NET
- CodeGuru – Getting Started with Microsoft Synchronization Services for ADO.NET
- The Moth – ADO.NET Sync Services
Update: This site has it all.
Hope it helps …
