SyncFrameworkToolkit + SqlServerCE + Entity Framework Example

Question

I'm looking for a very simple example of SyncFrameworkToolkit with a SQL Server CE local database synchronizing with the templated web service and provisioned remote sql server. Seems like a rather simple concept but after days of searching I can not find an example. I was able to see SQLite examples but i would rather use SQL Server CE with entity framework.

I have a requirement that all database calls must go through a web-service so I must use the web-service that comes with the toolkit and not synchronization framework 2.1

Answer 1

you don't need the Sync Framework Toolkit for that (although the toolkit actually contains a sample SQL CE provider to be used with Sync Toolkit).

you can easily sync SQL CE and SQL Server via WCF. this sample shows you exactly how to do that: SQL Server and SQL Compact N-Tier with WCF
