ServerSyncProviderProxy Class

The ServerSyncProviderProxy class is used in N-tier scenarios: The proxy class is used on the client, and the server synchronization provider class is used on the server or on a middle-tier. The proxy communicates with a service on the server or middle-tier, and the service in turn communicates with the server synchronization provider.

The following code example is from a class that derives from SyncAgent. For two-tier synchronization, the client provider and server provider are both referenced directly in the synchronization agent as local and remote providers.

this.LocalProvider = new SampleClientSyncProvider();

this.RemoteProvider = new SampleServerSyncProvider();

The following code example references the client provider directly, as in the two-tier example. However, the remote provider now references a proxy instead of directly referencing the server provider. The proxy is created by passing a reference to a WCF service. For more information, see How to: Configure N-Tier Synchronization and the samples at this Microsoft Web site.

this.LocalProvider = new SampleClientSyncProvider();

ServiceReference.ServiceForSyncClient serviceProxy = new ServiceReference.ServiceForSyncClient();
this.RemoteProvider = new ServerSyncProviderProxy(serviceProxy);
