File Sync Between Desktop and PDA

Question

Hi everybody. My first message here ::- ). Hopefully not the last either hehe.

Maybe some of you have better experience with the Sync Framework than I have. I am trying to sync an XML file and some images between my desktop and a PDA, using C#.

I saw there is a sample but it uses Web Services and I would very much prefer to do without those. I already built a .Net Framework 3.5 C# Windows Forms Application and a similar thing (3.5) on the Mobile device. Do you think it is possible to use WCF or SyncFramework to get some files Desktop <-> PDA?

Thank you for your time ::- ) !

Hi Axonn,

You could use SyncToy 2.0 to sync files between your desktop and PDA. It's a free UI application to sync files between two endpoints mapped onto the host running SyncToy (desktop in your case). It uses Sync Framework's File Sync Provider component underneath.

Or else, you could use File Sync Provider in you C# application to sync files.

Good place to start would be here :
