OK here goes.
The Microsoft Syncronisation Services for ADO.NET sounds like a really truly useful technology.
I mean that.
The ability for me the create an application whereby the user can do an initial sync to pull back product data etc, edit / delete / create new data whilst disconnected, and then reconnect and synchonise the changes? Brilliant. This will save me an unbelievable amount of time in doing all the synchronisation logic myself.
So today I decide to try it out to see how it works.
I created my Compact Framework 3.5 application, because I intend for this to run on PDAs.
I try to add a 'Local Database Cache' - uh-oh. It's not there.
I start hunting around on the web, and much to my surprise (although should I really be surprised? MS only seem to be interested in deploying 75% complete products these days) It seems that the Sync Services do not yet support the compact framework!!!
HELLO?!? Am I missing something here?
Surely the PDA scenario would have been at the forefront when this type of this was being designed, so to ship VS2008, but not have this ready? Unacceptable, and yet so believable nowadays.
