[b]SQL Server Compact Edition 3.51

Speaker: Don Robins[/b]

So you want to deploy a Winforms or console desktop application with its own database, but don't want to deal with having your customers install SQL Server Express or rely on Access or FoxPro? Or perhaps you need your application to be able to access your data while connected to the internet as well as when off-line, but don't want to rely on XML files to store your off-line datasets? And you certainly don't want to write sync routines to a back end database...

Your solution is most likely SQL Server Compact 3.51, a free, easy-to-use embedded database engine that lets developers build robust Windows Desktop and mobile applications that run on all Windows platforms including Windows XP, Vista, Pocket PC, and Smartphone. And it allows you to replicate a local database with a big brother SQL Server using Sync Services over the web.

You will learn: [list]

  • What SQL Server Compact Edition 3.51 is and how it works
  • How you can synchronize a database with a back-end server over the web
  • [/list]Plus, Don will show some slides for context and then walk through a simple sample application to demonstrate capability so you'll see lots of code examples.
