I was told the sync team was discontinued!

Is there any 'future' in ussing this framework ?

Are there any alternatives in the .net stack except for rolling your own solution using WCF or Websockets.

I feel i'm reinventing the wheel trying to make a hmoebrewed sync solution.

Thanks in advance

Anthony-F,

Agent 4.0.61.0 will expire after 10/31. Hence, the Upgrade Agent is still grey out. However, we would encourage to downdload and install the latest agent as soon as possible:

Justin,

Thanks for your feedback. We are looking at better methods for a seamless upgrade process. Typically, the upgrade process will retain the existing config file. However, we still ask users to follow the procedures illustrated in the link above in order to ensure the config information is not lost during upgrade.

I'm using version 4.0.61.0, and my 'Upgrade Agent' button is still greyed out. Is this Normal?

What is the point of having Upgrade agent in the client if every time we need to manually upgrade and copy config files around?
