title: Replication Framework for Mono
body: <p>We are considering adopting MonoTouch and MonoDroid for building a cross platform business App. </p>
  
  <p>This App will handle a local database that needs to be synchronized with a master database (only one way replication).</p>
  
  <p>The only project remotely like what we are looking for is: <a href="http://www.blackdogfoundry.com/home" title="Blackdog">http://www.blackdogfoundry.com/home</a>. However, we are not that satisfied to run it as a service (and also it is for Objective-C and Java, not for Mono).</p>
  
  <p>Synchronizing central databases to the local SQLite in the device seems a very common subject. It is strange that there is not some sort of framework for this (paid or opensource).</p>
  
  <p>Rhomobile offers RhoConnect for that. Still not that suitable for us. </p>
  
  <p>BTW: I know we can build it using web services and timestamp columns. I just would like to avoid the need to do that if possible.</p>
  
  <p>So the question is: do you know of any framework/library or the like that could be used from MonoTouch and/or MonoDroid to sync the local database to a central database? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
