I'm just trying out to get familiar with the Sync Framework. I've tested some NTFS provider samples which work well doing the sync between various PCs in a network.
My ultimate goal is to use Sync Services for File Systems for Synchronization of Files between Mobile Device (PDA) and Server/Desktop.
In our scenario until now all is done manually :
- record/check file changes on both sides (remote access via web services)
- detect files to transfer
- transfer of Bytes
Now I recognized the Sync Framework for Windows Mobile (Devices) - CTP1. That's great I thought, but then I've noticed that neither metadata storage nor file sync provider functionality is included.
1. Is there any hope to get these features soon?
If Sync Services for File Systems won't exist for File Synchronization between PDA and Server I can't see any benefit in our scenario to change using the Sync Framework. Nearly all functionality still has to be done brand-new manually.
2. In the moment often several reruns are necessary in our scenario because the wireless connection is down and therefor files are not transferred completely. In future development: For incomplete files the transfer must not start from scratch but at the last byte/package transferred.
Are the SyncServices for Files intended to be used like that ?
