In the first article in this series, "Accessing Enterprise Data from SQL
Server CE" [.NETDJ, Vol. 1, issue 6], we constructed a solution that allowed
us to provide enterprise data access to mobile devices while in a
disconnected environment using Visual Studio .NET 2003, the .NET Compact
Framework, and SQL Server CE 2.0. Providing mobile users offline access to
their enterprise data, along with the ability to propagate changes back to
the server, is a powerful addition to any mobile architecture. But this
additional functionality comes with the responsibility of securing your data
while "out in the wild."
Whenever you create architectural scenarios in which your data is accessible
outside of your infrastructure, you need to make data security a top-priority
feature. Mo... (more)
More and more, enterprise users are moving into mobile work scenarios in
which a network connection is not always possible and the traditional PC is
too cumbersome. In order to reach such users, we as developers need to get
our skills and systems up to speed with mobile development. .NET provides the
tools and infrastructure to do just that with the addition of the .NET
