Introduction to Microsoft Sync Framework

The Microsoft Sync Framework includes all of the things required to integrate applications into an offline or collaboration based network, using the pre-created providers or writing new custom providers. This article outline some key concepts regarding synchronization providers, which will help you to understand how to create a provider.

Introducing Microsoft Sync Framework: Sync Services for File Systems Whitepaper

The Microsoft Sync Framework is a comprehensive synchronization platform that enables collaboration and offline scenarios for applications, services and devices. Developers can build sync ecosystems that integrate any application, any type of data, using any protocol over any network. As part of the new framework, we’re also working on simplifying the development of end-to-end sync solutions by providing domain-specific components for common scenarios such as synchronizing relational databases, file systems, devices, etc.

Towards this goal, we have developed a reusable provider for synchronizing the contents of file system directories on PCs and removable media such as USB thumb drives. In this article, I’ll cover the details of this new reusable Sync Services for Files Systems component we call simply, the File System Provider, along with enabled scenarios and sample code for getting started

Introduction to Occasionally Connected Applications using Sync Services for ADO.NET

The ability to support mobile and remote workers is becoming more and more important for organizations every day. It is critical that organizations ensure users have access to the same information they have when they are in the office.

One solution is to implement an Occasionally Connected Application (OCA). An OCA allows a remote worker to continue to access their data, but unlike the previous scenario where the user accessed the corporate database directly, the information the worker requires is stored locally on the user’s device. In order to populate this user’s local database, an OCA will typically include some data synchronization capabilities. Data synchronization consists of the ability to periodically take information that is stored in the client database (such as SQL Server Compact) and synchronize changes with a server database (such as SQL Server). The advantage of a synchronization-based solution is that users are no longer required to have a constant network connection to access their information. Since their data is stored locally they are given constant access to their data while offloading processing requirements from the central database. Furthermore, the user is no longer limited by the network speed and can now access the data at the speed of the device.
