Microsoft has released a refresh Community Technology Preview of the Sync framework. The release is available for download on the MSDN site.
According to Microsoft: Microsoft Sync Framework is a comprehensive synchronization platform for enabling collaboration and offline scenarios for applications, services and devices
Using concepts such as roaming and sharing, an application that makes use of the Sync Framework can easily be made into a collaborative tool whereby multiple users can share data and work together.
The framework includes sync providers for:
- ADO.NET
- File system
- FeedSync (e.g. RSS)
As with the provider architecture in .NET in general, developers can create additional providers.
Applications can work to synchronize many types of data, including data found on remote computers and notebooks, PDAs, remote servers, and even MP3 players and digital cameras.
