SimpleSyncProvider Class

  • Article

Represents a simple provider that is used to synchronize a replica. You will typically extend FullEnumerationSimpleSyncProvider or AnchorEnumerationSimpleSyncProvider.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustInherit Class SimpleSyncProvider
    Inherits SyncProvider
'Usage
Dim instance As SimpleSyncProvider

public abstract class SimpleSyncProvider : SyncProvider

public ref class SimpleSyncProvider abstract : public SyncProvider

public abstract class SimpleSyncProvider extends SyncProvider

public abstract class SimpleSyncProvider extends SyncProvider

Remarks

The simple provider API is designed primarily for two types of replicas:

  • Replicas that do not support any kind of change tracking. This type of replica uses a full enumeration provider (FullEnumerationSimpleSyncProvider), which enumerates all items from the source replica every time synchronization occurs.

  • Replicas that support anchor-based change tracking. This type of replica uses an anchor-based provider (AnchorEnumerationSimpleSyncProvider), which enumerates the items from the source replica that changed after a specific anchor was set, which is typically a point in time.
