AnchorEnumerationContext Class

The synchronization session context that is passed to an AnchorEnumerationSimpleSyncProvider object.

Namespace: Microsoft.Synchronization.SimpleProviders
Assembly: Microsoft.Synchronization.SimpleProviders (in microsoft.synchronization.simpleproviders.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class AnchorEnumerationContext
    Inherits ItemEnumerationContext
'Usage
Dim instance As AnchorEnumerationContext

public class AnchorEnumerationContext : ItemEnumerationContext

public ref class AnchorEnumerationContext : public ItemEnumerationContext

public class AnchorEnumerationContext extends ItemEnumerationContext

public class AnchorEnumerationContext extends ItemEnumerationContext

Remarks

The context can be used by the provider in circumstances when the provider is not going to return an enumeration of items or where the provider needs to modify the enumeration behavior of the Sync Framework runtime.

Example

The following code example shows the AnchorEnumerationContext object being passed to the EnumerateChanges method, and the ReportChanges method being called on the context object. To view this code in the context of a complete application, see the "Sync101 using Simple Sync Provider" application that is available in the Sync Framework SDK and from Code Gallery.

public override void EnumerateChanges(byte[] anchor, AnchorEnumerationContext context)
{
    List<LocalItemChange> itemChanges = new List<LocalItemChange>();

    int startIndex = -1;

    if (anchor != null)
    {
        startIndex = _store.Changes.IndexOfKey(BitConverter.ToUInt64(anchor, 0));
    }

    for (int i = startIndex + 1; i < _store.Changes.Count; i++)
    {
        itemChanges.Add(_store.Changes.Values[i]);
    }

    // If the anchor is corrupt or out of date we could revert back to 
    // full enumeration mode for this session, and enumerate all items. 
    // This is done by calling context.ReportItemsAndAutodetectDeletes.
    context.ReportChanges(itemChanges, _store.GetAnchor());
}

Public Overrides Sub EnumerateChanges(ByVal anchor As Byte(), ByVal context As AnchorEnumerationContext)
    Dim itemChanges As New List(Of LocalItemChange)()

    Dim startIndex As Integer = -1

    If anchor IsNot Nothing Then
        startIndex = _store.Changes.IndexOfKey(BitConverter.ToUInt64(anchor, 0))
    End If

    For i As Integer = startIndex + 1 To _store.Changes.Count - 1
        itemChanges.Add(_store.Changes.Values(i))
    Next

    ' If the anchor is corrupt or out of date we could revert back to 
    ' full enumeration mode for this session, and enumerate all items. 
    ' This is done by calling context.ReportItemsAndAutodetectDeletes. 
    context.ReportChanges(itemChanges, _store.GetAnchor())
End Sub
