Remarks

For database synchronization, a scope is a set of tables. For more information about how scopes are used, see How to: Provision a Server Database for Collaborative Synchronization (Non-SQL Server) and How To: Execute Database Synchronization (SQL Server).

Examples

The following code example specifies the scope for a DbSyncProvider object in the SetupSyncProvider method that was created for this documentation. This method is used so that providers can be configured easily for multiple nodes. To view this code in the context of a complete example, see How to: Synchronize Other ADO.NET Compatable Databases.

SqlConnection peerConnection = new SqlConnection(peerConnString);
sampleProvider.Connection = peerConnection;
sampleProvider.ScopeName = "Sales";

Dim peerConnection As New SqlConnection(peerConnString)
sampleProvider.Connection = peerConnection
sampleProvider.ScopeName = "Sales"

The following code example specifies the scope for a SqlSyncProvider object by using the DbSyncScopeDescription object, rather than setting ScopeName directly. To view this code in the context of a complete example, see How To: Execute Database Synchronization (SQL Server).

DbSyncScopeDescription scopeDesc = new DbSyncScopeDescription("filtered_customer");

// Definition for Customer.
DbSyncTableDescription customerDescription =
    SqlSyncDescriptionBuilder.GetDescriptionForTable("Sales.Customer", serverConn);

scopeDesc.Tables.Add(customerDescription);

// Definition for CustomerContact, including the list of columns to include.
Collection<string> columnsToInclude = new Collection<string>();
columnsToInclude.Add("CustomerId");
columnsToInclude.Add("PhoneType");
DbSyncTableDescription customerContactDescription =
    SqlSyncDescriptionBuilder.GetDescriptionForTable("Sales.CustomerContact", columnsToInclude, serverConn);

scopeDesc.Tables.Add(customerContactDescription);

Dim scopeDesc As New DbSyncScopeDescription("filtered_customer")

' Definition for Customer. 
Dim customerDescription As DbSyncTableDescription = _
    SqlSyncDescriptionBuilder.GetDescriptionForTable("Sales.Customer", serverConn)

scopeDesc.Tables.Add(customerDescription)


' Definition for CustomerContact, including the list of columns to include. 
Dim columnsToInclude As New Collection(Of String)()
columnsToInclude.Add("CustomerId")
columnsToInclude.Add("PhoneType")
Dim customerContactDescription As DbSyncTableDescription = _
    SqlSyncDescriptionBuilder.GetDescriptionForTable("Sales.CustomerContact", columnsToInclude, serverConn)

scopeDesc.Tables.Add(customerContactDescription)
