Sync Framework Samples

Microsoft Sync Framework installs a set of samples designed to illustrate various concepts and features of Sync Framework. The samples use C# and assume a basic familiarity with .NET coding practices. The samples cover many concepts, such as how to write an application that synchronizes data by using the database synchronization providers that are included with Sync Framework, or how to write a simple custom provider to synchronize a custom data store, or how to write a standard custom provider that uses Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to synchronize data between replicas on different computers.

Security noteSecurity Note

The sample code is provided to illustrate a concept. Because the samples might not use the safest coding practices, the code should not be used in applications or Web sites. Microsoft assumes no liability for incidental or consequential damages if the sample code is used for purposes other than as intended.

Samples Location

The files for samples are located where Sync Framework is installed. The default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Microsoft Sync Framework\v2.0\Samples\.

Additional samples can be found online at the Sync Framework Code Gallery.
