WinMo and peer-to-peer scenarios in v4 RRS feed

  • Question

  • I'm using Sync Framework v1.0 for peer-to-peer syncing between a PC and a WinMo device as well as PC-to-PC. Given that an OData endpoint is required, it appears that v4 doesn't support either of these scenarios. Is that the case?

  • Yes, a v1.0 WinMo client will not be able to sync with a OData endpoint service.

    However, with a v4 service, any client with local storage can sync with the service - the client doesn't need the Sync Framework installed on it, the service runs they sync algorithms on behalf of the client. With the CTP we have also release silverlight client components that run on Windows Phone 7, and a sample that shows how you would write a client on a Windows Mobile device.

  • Thanks Sid -

    I'm interested in peer-to-peer, where the device not only acts as a client, but a server. Obviously WinMo is out. Will this be supported PC-to-PC?
