Just about every line-of-business application and a good number of consumer applications need to use networking to communicate with servers. Most mobile devices offer a bewildering variety of networking hardware, including a USB connection to a computer, Bluetooth, WiFi, Global Positioning System (GPS), or 3G. Despite all those connection choices, the fact that mobile devices are moved between different locations means that at times you have a choice of available networks and at other times you are unable to use any of them, all of which has an impact on application design and implementation.<br /><br />In this webcast, you learn how to create a network connection in code and how to discover if you have network connectivity. We look at the design of applications that need to be network aware and strategies for creating applications that can operate when disconnected from the network and then sync up data when network connectivity is restored. We also compare the options for transferring data over a network connection, which include ActiveSync, Microsoft SQL Server merge replication, remote data access (RDA), SQLClient, Microsoft Synchronization Services for ADO.NET, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), SOAP-based Web services, RESTful data services, and Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). We explain the benefits and shortcomings of each sync technology and demonstrate many of them so you can select the right solution for your data synchronization needs.

ASP.NET Webcasts http://www.asp.net/learn/webcasts/webcast-288.aspx Saturday, 1 Nov 2008 The one thing that can be counted on in software development is the need to manage change. Change must be managed from all directions: requirements, source code, builds, environments, and tests, to name a few. Traceability of these changes and the ability to plan for change throughout the process is important, yet often overlooked. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Team Foundation Server provides many tools to manage change throughout the application life cycle, from security in source control to management of work items.<br /><br />Microsoft Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server are premier productivity and collaboration tools for every role on your software development team, including project managers, business analysts, software architects, software and database developers, testers, and deployment professionals. Team Foundation Server enables you to track the progress of your entire team with real-world results and powerful, out-of-the-box metrics. In this webcast, we discuss where change fits into our process and describe how to capture the data required to report the impact of change on our development plan using Team Foundation Server.
