When overridden in a derived class, called by the Sync Framework runtime to delete an item from the destination store.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Synchronization.SimpleProviders
Assembly:  Microsoft.Synchronization.SimpleProviders (in Microsoft.Synchronization.SimpleProviders.dll)

    recoverableErrorReportingContext : RecoverableErrorReportingContext, 
    commitKnowledgeAfterThisItem : boolean
)

Parameters

  • commitKnowledgeAfterThisItem
    Type: System.Boolean%
    Returns whether the Sync Framework runtime should commit knowledge to the metadata store after processing is complete for the specified item.

Remarks

After Sync Framework has detected and loaded changes from the source, it must apply those changes and corresponding metadata changes to the destination replica. Metadata changes at the destination are handled by Sync Framework, but applying data changes is store-specific and is handled by implementing the following methods: DeleteItem, InsertItem, and UpdateItem.

Examples

The following code example shows an implementation of this method that applies deletes to an in-memory sample data store. 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 DeleteItem(ItemFieldDictionary keyAndExpectedVersion, 
    RecoverableErrorReportingContext recoverableErrorReportingContext, 
    out bool commitKnowledgeAfterThisItem)
{
    IDictionary<uint, ItemField> expectedFields = (IDictionary<uint, ItemField>)keyAndExpectedVersion;
    ulong id = (ulong)expectedFields[CUSTOM_FIELD_ID].Value;
    if (_store.Contains(id))
    {
        _store.DeleteItem(id);
    }
    else
    {
        // If the item to delete does not exist, record an error on this change and 
        // continue with the rest of the session.
        recoverableErrorReportingContext.RecordRecoverableErrorForChange(new RecoverableErrorData(new Exception("Item not found in the store")));
    }
    commitKnowledgeAfterThisItem = false;
}
Public Overrides Sub DeleteItem(ByVal keyAndExpectedVersion As ItemFieldDictionary, ByVal recoverableErrorReportingContext As RecoverableErrorReportingContext, ByRef commitKnowledgeAfterThisItem As Boolean)
    Dim expectedFields As IDictionary(Of UInteger, ItemField) = DirectCast(keyAndExpectedVersion, IDictionary(Of UInteger, ItemField))
    Dim id As ULong = CULng(expectedFields(CUSTOM_FIELD_ID).Value)
    If _store.Contains(id) Then
        _store.DeleteItem(id)
    Else
        ' If the item to delete does not exist, record an error on this change and 
        ' continue with the rest of the session. 
        recoverableErrorReportingContext.RecordRecoverableErrorForChange(New RecoverableErrorData(New Exception("Item not found in the store")))
    End If
    commitKnowledgeAfterThisItem = False
End Sub
