I have a fairly simple project in progress where I create a very basic upload/download capable Silverlight 5 app to upload a user-selected file from their local machine to an Azure database. After reading up on the variety of ways to do this (WCF RIA services and others) I haven't been able to get a clear idea of how I would best implement this.
Some more information about my app would be that I envision it to be very simple, with the upload consisting of a file selection and subsequent tagging and uploading to the Azure database and the download portion consisting of a user searching for the file in a pivot-viewer like environment and then selecting and downloading the file they want. If it is relevant: the app will run in IE, Chrome, and Firefox.
How would I best connect my Silverlight app to a database set up in Windows Azure? Links to tutorials or explanations would be greatly appreciated! I'm looking for possible examples with sample code of how a Silverlight app could be written to connect and upload/download a file as well as samples/examples of what I need to setup on the Azure side in order for the app to function properly.
I think you need to use any tool which migrates your schema and connect to SQL azure database with proper server name using SQL server 2012.

I am Creating POS system in C# MVC with SQL server database. I want my system to be able to work when No internet and whenever I re connect to the internet, system should be synchronized with live.
I have searched from internet but In all solution they suggested some javascript coding. but i have already created system in C# MVC.
So how can i change my existing system to be able to work in offline mode?
Did you look into MS SQL Server Replication?
With Replication you can replicate your Local Database against Remote database either on demand / scheduled.

I'm currently working on a windows store app which should let the user access to some data stored in Sharepoint 2010 (running on a Windows Server 2008). The users should be able to access these data even if the tablet is offline and cannot access this sharepoint server. To accomplish this, we were considering setting a sqlite database and synchronise it whenever the tablet got access to the sharepoint server.
I was considering building a sync engine within the application but apparently it wasn't that great idea. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to make Microsoft Sync Framework works with Sharepoint's lists but cannot find much information online (maybe i'm looking for the wrong thing?).
Does someone knows a way to allow synchronisation between multiple offline apps and a Sharepoint server ?
The thing which has already been done is a CacheService but I'm guessing that all of it has to be changed to use sqlite offline database...
Thanks for your help :)

I am working on a web application which have two parts.
1) One is the online web site at online server.
2) The second is running on local machines/computers.
The structure of database is same on both live and on local. Now a user can make changes on the local database and then publish them on to the live server.
How can I update data from local database to online database? Which is the best technique to do this?
Use Any of the Version Controller tool like TFS, It would help in check in your changes
I want to create a desktop application, I normally work on web based applications so have very little knowledge about creating console applications using .Net and visual studio.
So now in this application I'l also be using database connectivity and stored procedures (SQL server). But how should I start doing this as I dont want to install SQL server on my clients system.
thanks in advance..
I think it depends on the goal of your application, the amout and sturcture of the data and the environment. The last point aims to the client system, if the client is part of an enterprise network (e.g. Active Directory) or is a common user at home.
maybe you can use xml or json files to store the data
if you need a database, you can create a setup project for your application which automatically installs a SQL Server express
another way is, if it's applicable for you, your application can consume a webservice which provide the data
you could use SQL Server compact http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645984(v=sql.100).aspx or SQL Lite to embark your DB in your application without external dependencies.
Otherwise, if offline isn't a requirement, you could go the "cloud" way, with web APIs
I am developing an online internal web portal (like users write tests, provide document links to study, completing a study roadmap, admin user to view ststistics, etc). It caters some 150 users. I have planned to use ASP .NET with c# in Visual Studio 2008 on windows xp. I am implementing using Forms and NOT MVC since I feel at home with forms.
I do not want to use windows authentication since each user will have many attributes related to him and so it will be easy using a database. Security is not an issue since it is being used internally only.
I have only a fair knowledge about ASP and C# and VS 2008.
Now my questions:
Can I use MS SQL server database that is built in in VS 2008?( I cannot ask for external databases)
Can I export the website totally along with the databases to IIS server running in some other computer? How?
Do I need to export databases separately or provide a database creation script like PHP?
(I have more questions. Will update once I start off).
(This is my first .net web app. so can i know where i can find login scripts, pagination, examples, and pretty much all the stuff)
edit: which to use? New website or New Webapplication?
You can pretty much use any database, but it seems from your requirements that you want to look closer towards something like SQLExpress, SQL Server Compact Edition or SQLLite.
Can I export the website totally along
with the databases to IIS server
running in some other computer? How?
Your database will be shipped along with your application if you use one of the database options that I have specified above.
Do I need to export databases
separately or provide a database
creation script like PHP?
See my comment above, the database will exist when you deploy your website to IIS. It's a physical file that will be in your APP_DATA folder.
You can use:
MySQL. The reason: It has no space or memory limit!
SQL Server or SQL CE. These are both alike. They just differ in slite functions, and also the storage!
The SQL CE allows you to have 4GB. But the SQL Server lets you have 10GB.
So it depends on your work!
Also, I wanted to point out one error in a post, that the SQL CE is present in App_Data, Correct! But the SQL Server is placed somewhere like:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\here_will_it_be
And yes, you can migrate it to wherever you want to place it. I mean if you want to upload it to a hosting server, you can upload it using Web Deploy! Or what ever service. When downloading you will have to repeat same process!
I hope you are doing good with your first web app! :)
