DirectorySynchronization Class
.NET Framework 4.5
Specifies how to synchronize a directory within a domain.
Namespace: System.DirectoryServices
Assembly: System.DirectoryServices (in System.DirectoryServices.dll)
The DirectorySynchronization type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | DirectorySynchronization() | Initializes a new instance of the DirectorySynchronization object. |
| DirectorySynchronization(Byte[]) | Initializes a new instance of the DirectorySynchronization object with a cookie. |
| DirectorySynchronization(DirectorySynchronization) | Initializes a new instance of the DirectorySynchronization object with a directory synchronization object. |
| DirectorySynchronization(DirectorySynchronizationOptions) | Initializes a new instance of the DirectorySynchronization object with a directory synchronization option. |
| DirectorySynchronization(DirectorySynchronizationOptions, Byte[]) | Initializes a new instance of the DirectorySynchronization object with a directory synchronization option and cookie. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Copy | Returns a copy of the current DirectorySynchronization instance. |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetDirectorySynchronizationCookie | Gets the directory synchronization search cookie. |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ResetDirectorySynchronizationCookie() | Resetss the directory synchronization search cookie. |
| ResetDirectorySynchronizationCookie(Byte[]) | Resets the directory synchronization search cookie. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The following C# example shows how to synchronize a directory.
DirectorySearcher src = new DirectorySearcher("…"); src.DirectorySynchornization= new DirectorySynchronization(); // Initiate dirsync, // this means a full synch foreach(SearchResult res in src.FindAll() ) { Console.WriteLine(…"); } // Restart the dirsync foreach(SearchResult res in src.FindAll() ) { Console.WriteLine(…"); }
The following C# example shows how to synchronize a directory by persisting it to a file.
DirectorySearcher src = new DirectorySearcher("…"); src.DirectorySynchornization= new DirectorySynchronization(); // Initiate dirsync, // this means a full synch foreach(SearchResult res in src.FindAll() ) { Console.WriteLine(…"); } // Now they should be able to persist the dirSync cookie, by serializing to a file. FileStream myStream = File.Create("dirsync.data"); BinaryFormatter fmt = new BinaryFormatter(); fmt.Serialize(myStream, src.DirectorySynchronization); myStream.Close(); … …. // At some point in time, we wake up and read by de-serializing the dirSync cookie, // and resume the dirSync FileStream myStream = FileCreate("dirsync.data"); BinaryFormatter fmt = new BinaryFormatter(); DirectorySynchronization dirSync = fmt.Deserialize(myStream); DirectorySearcher src = new DirectorySearcher(…); src.DirectorySynchronization = dirSync; foreach(SearchResult res in src.FindAll() ) { Console.WriteLine(…"); }
