MSDN Webcast: Smart Client Offline Data Synchronization and Caching (Level 400)  

One of the challenges of Smart Client development and operations is supporting disconnected operations. As soon as you allow your application to be used offline, a whole host of new considerations need to be addressed in your design. This webcast explores what those challenges are, what the available choices are to address them, and what the best techniques are for a variety of situations. Some of the options we will explore include the use of client-side DataSet caching, DataSet and business object caching through Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition, Queued Components, Web services, and the Offline Application Block. Find out what modifications are required to the architecture to support these different options. The webcast includes a demonstration of a multi-tiered application that is representative of the real world and utilizes the smart client architecture discussed in this webcast. Join us for this highly rated breakout session from Tech·Ed 2005 in Orlando, Florida, presented as CLI440.
