abstract ConvertDataFromProviderFormat :

public function ConvertDataFromProviderFormat(
context : LoadChangeContext,
itemData : Object
) : Object
Parameters
- context
Type: Microsoft.Synchronization.LoadChangeContext
A LoadChangeContext object that represents information about a change to be loaded from the item store. This object can be used to set a recoverable error for a change if an issue occurs during data conversion.
- itemData
Type: System.Object
An object that represents the data to be converted.
Return Value
Type: System.Object
An object that represents the converted data.
Remarks
If a recoverable error occurs during data conversion, set that error on context. The item for which the error is set is then skipped during change application.
