Hi,
I'm new embedded development and synchronization.
Is it possible to synchronize the databases between the
device and desktop by using Active Sync. I use SQL CE 2.0
and SQL 2K. When the device is cardled I want to sync the
data between the two databases automatically. Moreover I
want to filter the data to pull from desktop to device.

Thank.

Hi,

You have to write a custom activesync provider to accomplish ur task. Custom
providers can be written only evc++.

Check out the following link for detailed description into programming
activesync providers

u can also use features provided by sql server ce like Remote Data Access
(RDA) and Merge Replication or web services for synchronizing data

Girish.

There are also ways of synchronizing without ActiveSync.
If the device has a network connection you could use a
web service to send and retrieve data from a SQL database.
I think there is also a way to do it with merge
replication.

Good examples in the articles at
