New Sample - WCF for Devices

liamca — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:00:00 GMT

Two of our MVPs (José Miguel Torres and Cesar Fong) recently posted an excellent end to end WCF sample for devices that’s worth a look. They did an excellent job of describing the various components and it is a must see for developers thinking about getting their feet wet building offline applications for Windows Mobile. Thanks again to Jose and Cesar for contributing these samples to the community!

Creating an Open Community around Sync

liamca — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:02:00 GMT

One of the key goals in the Sync Framework team has always been to try to build an open community around synchronization. As many of you know, the Sync Framework has been built such that anyone can create providers to tie any end points together into a sync ecosystem. Up until now, most of the providers (database, file system, feedsync) have come included within the Sync Framework and have been written by us here at Microsoft.

I was especially pleased to read a post in one of our Sync forums by Hans Hinnekint who has started a new Codeplex site called File Synchronizer that has the purpose of creating a utility that will synchronize file folders using the Microsoft Sync Framework. For those of you who do not already know, CodePlex is Microsoft's open source project hosting web site.

In the future, I hope we will see more open source projects like this one that will enable new endpoints to be linked through synchronization and thanks to Hans for kicking of the process!

P.S. If you know of any other open source projects that have been started based on the Sync Framework, I would love to hear from you.
