Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsFileChangeEx::SyncFile(
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszMkDocument
);

Use this method in conjunction with IgnoreFile Method if you are making a change to the file and do not want to receive the change notification. This is shown in the following example:

   pFC->IgnoreFile(dwConnect, "MyFile.cpp", TRUE);
   SaveFile("MyFile.cpp");
   pFC->SyncFile("MyFile.cpp")
   // Forces the change events to be sent. This ensures the event will not be sent (asynchronously) to you after you stop ignoring the file.
   pFC->IgnoreFile(dwConnect, "MyFile.cpp", FALSE)
   // This indicates you are listening to the events again.
