Windows Phone 7: Persisting Bookmarks Locally

Abstract

In this chapter, we have seen how, despite the lack of a relational database management system on Windows Phone, we can still use the object-relational mapping approach we outlined in the system architecture chapter and implemented on iOS and Android. We saw how we could create a “data box” and entities in it as individual files. We also saw how to communicate with the standard OData service in order to download entities from the cloud service. In the next chapter, we’ll look at how to push up changes to the server.
