Transferring Data Between Server and Client (Mobile)
- by Byron
Scenario:
Client (Mobile) - .Net CF 2.0, SQL CE 3.0
Server - .Net 2.0, SQL Server 2005, Web Service
Client and Server database schemas differ. From server - only certain columns from certain tables need to be synced. From client - everything will need to be synced once client has made changes.
Client will continually poll a web service to download and upload data. A framework will be developed to package and unpackage data, used by both client and server.
How would you develop the packaging and unpackaging? Use datasets, serialise strongly typed objects? All suggestions welcome.
Thanks
