Alternative to MSMQ for use in Windows Store Applications


I recently discovered that NetMsmqBinding is not supported in Windows Store Apps, are there any alternative ways to implement a similar system of queuing messages to a host machine from a tablet?

Thank you!


Solution

  • Okay after I concluded that there is no way to use MSMQ in Win Store Apps I found a great article that discusses a way to implement a OCA(Occasionally Connected Application) which is perfect for what I want to use-

    EDIT: Start with Using SQLite in Windows 8 Store Apps instead of

    SYNCHRONIZING WINRT/SQLITE USING SYNC FRAMEWORK TOOLKIT

    A simplified component list of the Microsoft Sync Framework Toolkit:

    • Sync Service (uses Sync Framework 2.1, WCF-based, coupled to SQL Server/Express/LocalDB/Azure SQL)
    • Cache Controller (client-side, similar to SyncAgent/SyncOrchestrator in Sync Framework)
    • Offline Provider (a sync provider)
    • Storage Handler (the actual code that interacts with the database/ local store/cache)

    Try it out!
