Question

I am planning to develop .net application to sync data between sql azure database and sql on-premise database and planning to use sync framework. It is easy to develop application and sync data between azure db and sql db, but it need to keep open tcp port 1433 . SQl azure sync service work without keep opening this port. i need to develop my own application to work as sql azure sync services. Is there any alternative way to do this. Really appreciate your help.

Answer 1

have a look at this walkthrough, you basically put a service in the cloud to talk to SQL Azure and have your sync app talk to the service instead of directly connecting to SQL Azure.

The Azure Data Sync Service is structured in a very similar way.
