A new release of the Microsoft Sync Framework today includes Sync Services for ADO.NET v2.0. Obviously some of this has to do with the fact that SQL Server 2008 has been released and several new features use functionality within SQL Server 2008.
In particular, Sync Services for ADO.NET v2.0 has support for the new SQL Server 2008 Data Types and the SQL Server 2008 Integrated Change Tracking as well as other changes.
Per the Microsoft Sync Framework Download Page:
“Sync Services for ADO.NET is a Microsoft Sync Framework powered solution for synchronizing ADO.NET enabled databases in offline and collaboration scenarios. Sync Services for ADO.NET allows developers who are familiar with the concepts of ADO.NET to apply that knowledge to data synchronization through a very similar set of APIs to that of ADO.NET. Sync Services for ADO.NET provides the flexibility of a programming model like offline datasets and a richer synchronization feature set like that found in Merge replication. Sync Services for ADO.NET also supports synchronization over services, such as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). ”
Very cool Stuff. Download the latest release of Sync Services for ADO.NET and the Microsoft Sync Framework here. Download SQL Server 2008, too.
