Thanks to everyone who came to the launch, especially those folks who stayed for the last session of the day when Lindsay and I presented. We were the last session in the afternoon and by then everyone is just darn tired after a full day of sessions and excitement!
Below I've compiled a list of some questions from attendees that I think were great questions worth sharing:
Question: What type of applications are best suited Sync Services
Answer: Here's some programs that would fit nicely - field service, CRM apps, anything for sales folks, trade show management & leads, or any desktop app where you do not or can not have constant connectivity.
Question: Is it really that easy to share your project with designers, even a desktop app using xaml?
Answer: Why yes it is! You saw the demo after all!
Question: Can you use Microsoft Access with Sync Services to create a local database cache?
Answer: No, you cannot.
Question: Is Sync Services available for file systems?
Answer: Yes (link below)
Question: Is it possible to add an amination to a xaml form in Visual Studio 2008 or must you use Expression Blend?
Answer: Yes, you can use VS2008 but I'll warn you - the storyboards are much easier w/Expression Blend, as you'd need to hand craft the XAML in VS08, there's no storyboard control. (see link below)
