SQLCE db sync with Windows Mobile

[Steve]

I am writing a sample app to learn Windows Mobile development. I have
been able to get the app working in the emulator but now would like to
sync the data so it does not get reset on the next deployment to the
mobile device.

So, does anyone know of a tutorial that explains how this is done?
Also, if there is a better group to post this message to, let me know
as well.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

For just a sample app for learning purposes, change the properties on the
sdf file in your Visual Studio project so it no longer downloads a fresh
copy on each deployment. But for production use, you'd need to decide what
type of syncing you'd want to do as there are several options: merge
replication with SQL Server, Sync Services for ADO.NET (currently in beta
for devices), or RDA with SQL Server (still supported but a technology on
the way out.)
