How can LM be used to sync line-of-business data? ...e.g. rational or XML data vs. just folders and files?

Will the SDK be available before, during or after this session is presented?

p.s. What is the replacement for Desktop.ini in a Mesh-managed folder?  How can I customize the icon for a folder at a replica and have that customization flow throughout a mesh?  In the CTP, Desktop.ini is not replicated and believe it's format also varies across OSes.

I've gotten OLAF to compile and run with VS2005 Beta 2.

The 2 key changes are to comment out the offending ComponentModel using statment and change IPropertyChange to INotifyPropertyChanged.

On recompiling, you get about 15 errors and 213 warnings.  Focus on the errors (sort by Category in the Error list).  I brute force fixed most of the errors by commenting out any property initialization for properties that no longer exist in Beta 2.  For the InterfaceType errors, it's a simple rename to NetworkInterface* (check intellisense).

I may have broke a bunch of UI events, etc. but the app does run and display the main window.

The 213 errors are about deprecated features from Beta 1 to Beta 2.  I'm not going to touch these (and didn't need to to get the UI to display).  Most appear to be in the mail message/store code ...so if you just want the Office/Outlook UI and don't need the mail/message/store implementation, dump it first and then see what kinds of warnings remain.

Re: OLAF

As I watch the VS 2005 demo, OLAF appears to be the name of the solution.

OLAF = "Outlook Look And Feel"

Has anyone been able to make the Outlook Clone UI work under Beta 2?

I'm about to start.  Also, what is "OLAF"?

Michael.

I too am anxious to see the sample code for this demo.
