Namespace: Microsoft.Synchronization
Assembly: Microsoft.Synchronization (in microsoft.synchronization.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overridable Function ConvertDataToProviderFormat ( _
    context As LoadChangeContext, _
    itemData As Object _
) As Object
'Usage
Dim instance As SyncDataConverter
Dim context As LoadChangeContext
Dim itemData As Object
Dim returnValue As Object

returnValue = instance.ConvertDataToProviderFormat(context, itemData)

public virtual Object ConvertDataToProviderFormat (
    LoadChangeContext context,
    Object itemData
)

public:
virtual Object^ ConvertDataToProviderFormat (
    LoadChangeContext^ context, 
    Object^ itemData
)

public Object ConvertDataToProviderFormat (
    LoadChangeContext context, 
    Object itemData
)

public function ConvertDataToProviderFormat (
    context : LoadChangeContext, 
    itemData : Object
) : Object

Parameters

• context
  A LoadChangeContext object that represents information about a change to be loaded from the item store. This object can be used to set a recoverable error for a change if an issue occurs during data conversion.

• itemData
  An object that represents the data to be converted.

Return Value

An object that represents the converted data.

Remarks

If a recoverable error occurs during data conversion, set that error on context. The item for which the error is set is then skipped during change application.
