C# Programming :: Need references for .Net app replicating SQL2005 database to the laptops


	Need references for .Net app replicating SQL2005 database to the laptops Can anyone point me to some good references for coding a Winforms app to trigger replication (merge preferably) on SQL2005? I'm setting up a scenario where I want my app to allow multiple laptops to synchronize to the distribution SQL2005 database and I'd like to do it either automatically or by having them click on a menu/button. From working with merge in the CompactFramework, I know the general approach but I do not know the equivalent namespaces or techniques in the "big framework".

Maybe, this link will get you started, with the second article in the link about RMO. http://www.yukonxml.com/ - Hide quoted text - Thanks for the link (good stuff on that site!) but I saw no link article on "RMO."

Maybe, this will do it for you. I am really not having too hard of a time finding this stuff with Google. Google is your friend. :) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.replicat... http://wardyit.com/blog/blog/archive/2006/03/14/94.aspx -----------------------------------------------Reply----------------------------------------------- Yeah, I'm not having trouble finding "stuff" on replication with Google either. Tons of SQL Server based information on replication out there (I even have Hilary Cotter's book for that matter). But finding information on app development with 2005 replication is another story -- not that many people doing it apparently. Microsoft has one example for the Adventureworks database on the Technet website, but I've found very little on Google for new app development involving replication (I've built a lot of SQLCE stuff with replication, but nothing since 2003 and nothing for Winforms). Might be time to add to my tech book collection. Thanks for the link. "Mr. Arnold" <MR.
