Hi All,
We are planning to develop a Mobile Application based on .NET Compact Framework. The basic requirement is as follows.
› Stand alone Mobile client application which will communicate to the server via connected and disconnected mode
Is .NET Compact Framework 3.5, the best option?
› Local database on handheld device for storing and accessing data locally. We will be having a subset of server data in client.
Is MS SQL Server 2008 Compact/Mobile edition is the best option?
› Server database
MS SQL Server 2008?
› Message Queuing mechanism on both client and server. Need to queue messages/transports from client to server if the connectivity is not there. Also we if the client is not connected, we need to queue the messages to client on server as well.
Is MSMQ is the best option for Server Queue? Is similar queuing mechanism available for Mobile Client as well? The client OS will be Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0
› Data Synchronization between client and server
Is there any option for this in MS SQL Server itself?
› Data Security
Built in encryption, serialization mechanisms provided by .NET Framework are good enough?
I appreciate if you could share your experience on Mobile Application Development.
Regards,
Praveen K
