Properties

  Name Description
Public property ColumnMappings Gets a collection of SyncColumnMapping objects for the table. These objects map columns in a server table to the corresponding columns in a client table.
Public property DeleteCommand Gets or sets the query or stored procedure that is used to delete data from the server database.
Public property Description Gets or sets a description for the synchronization adapter.
Public property InsertCommand Gets or sets the query or stored procedure that is used to insert data into the server database.
Public property SelectConflictDeletedRowsCommand Gets or sets the query or stored procedure that is used to identify deleted rows that conflict with other changes.
Public property SelectConflictUpdatedRowsCommand Gets or sets the query or stored procedure that is used to identify updated rows that conflict with other changes.
Public property SelectIncrementalDeletesCommand Gets or sets the query or stored procedure that is used to retrieve deletes made in the server database since the last synchronization.
Public property SelectIncrementalInsertsCommand Gets or sets the query or stored procedure that is used to retrieve inserts made in the server database since the last synchronization.
Public property SelectIncrementalUpdatesCommand Gets or sets the query or stored procedure that is used to retrieve updates made in the server database since the last synchronization.
Public property TableName Gets or sets the name of the table at the server for which to create the SyncAdapter.
Public property UpdateCommand Gets or sets the query or stored procedure that is used to update data in the server database.

Remarks

The SyncAdapter serves as a bridge between the DbServerSyncProvider and the server database. Modeled after the data adapter in ADO.NET, the synchronization adapter is defined for each table that is synchronized. The synchronization adapter provides the server synchronization provider with the specific commands that are required to interact with the server database, such as the InsertCommand that applies inserts from the client database to the server database. Because synchronization adapters use the ADO.NET  DbCommand object, you can use any command structure that is supported by ADO.NET. This includes inline Transact-SQL, stored procedures, views, functions, and so on. The commands only require a single result that defines the structure and data to be transferred and applied.

Examples

The following code example creates a SyncAdapter object for the Customer table. The table is configured for bidirectional synchronization with conflict detection; therefore, all the available commands are specified. The commands for selecting changes from the server are inline Transact-SQL. The commands for applying changes to the server are stored procedures, which are defined in Setup Scripts for Database Provider How-to Topics. For more information about adapter commands, see How to: Specify Snapshot, Download, Upload, and Bidirectional Synchronization. To view this code in the context of a complete example, see How to: Handle Data Conflicts and Errors.
