AnchorEnumerationSimpleSyncProvider Class

The simple provider API is designed primarily for two types of replicas:

• Replicas that do not support any kind of change tracking. This type of replica uses a full enumeration provider (FullEnumerationSimpleSyncProvider), which enumerates all items from the source replica every time synchronization occurs.

• Replicas that support anchor-based change tracking. This type of replica uses an anchor-based provider (AnchorEnumerationSimpleSyncProvider), which enumerates the items from the source replica that changed after a specific anchor was set, which is typically a point in time.
