Remarks
An application does not have to call this method. This method is provided for applications that want more precise control over when change detection occurs.
If the ExplicitDetectChanges flag was not set in the provider's constructor, the provider will implicitly do change detection on the first call to the provider’s GetChangeBatch or ProcessChangeBatch method for each synchronization.
If the ExplicitDetectChanges flag was set, the application should explicitly call DetectChanges to detect local file system changes before it starts a synchronization session.
