Wow what an event considering that it was first SQL Saturday event in South Florida, now the next event we have to setup is where Scott Klein will jump in a pool full of alligators, (he had promised in one of the SQL PASS meetings that he would do that if we have more than 300 registered attendees, and it was way more than that).
I did a session on ADO .Net sync services (my favorite), one thing that surprises me is that it’s been out for well over 2 years and still has not found a big user base. It’s a great product; imagine the capability of making your application work in offline mode is great. But I guess it’s mainly because most of us are still busy in churning out applications that are over kill for a poor browser, we have a complicated ERP applications running on a browser; which was meant for publishing static information. Hopefully in future people will start going back to the Rich client applications when WPF, click once and WCF takes off in real sense. I developed my first smart client application in 2002 using win-forms and web services and haven’t looked back.
Below are the links for the ppt and my code project article.

Sync in 2 Tier
Sync in Multitier
And for those of you who attended the session and had question regarding insert with duplicate primary key, I promise to come up with example on that one.
