Question : Offline Application - ADO.NET Sync Framework or Smart Client Offline App Block
I want to develop a windows application that connects to a database over internet and I want it also to work offline.
From my point of view, ADO.NET Sync Framework is the first choice. But I have some requirements that I think Sync Service will not address.
1- Clients can't connect directly to remote database. I have to use web services. I think I read somewhere that I can user WCF Data Service. but I don't know how.
2- Clients have different authorization rules. I mean each client has access to his own set of data from the same table. So I can't download whole table to client PC. When a client requests for a table (changed data from server), only those data who client has access must be returned. I don't know how to do it with Sync Service.

Well. since no one is answering, I'll answer myself.
I didn't go around Offline App Block. I found good articles about ADO.NET Sync Framework:
