With Microsoft SQL Server Compact, developers can now easily cache data on the client in a compact, yet capable, transactional, queryable document-like database format. To maintain the cache, the Microsoft Sync Framework enables developers to easily cache data directly or over services using WCF. Visual Studio codename "Orcas" delivers new integrated, developer-oriented sync designers making caching an easy task to increase user productivity, decrease the server workload, and simplify data access. In addition to caching, you can use Microsoft Sync Framework to enable full offline scenarios as well. This session will also show how Microsoft Sync Framework is being integrated with SQL Server 2008 Change Tracking to increase developer productivity by providing integrated change tracking and conflict detection and subsequently decreasing the barrier to entry associated with implementing 2-way synchronization. Finally, this session will discuss how Microsoft Sync Framework has been built on top of the sync platform currently referred to as Microsoft Sync Framework. Among other things, this platform has allowed us to extend Microsoft Sync Framework beyond the traditional hub-spoke topology to support peer-to-peer synchronization.
