Public Sub MergeSPPersistedObjectState ( _
    liveObject As SPPersistedObject _
)

Remarks

This method is similar to standard Microsoft .NET FrameworkCopyTo methods in that it copies property values from one object to another object of the same type. It is called inside an override of OnRestore(Object, SPRestoreInformation) when the configuration only option has been taken.

If the value of Self. IBackupRestore is not an SPPersistedObject object then no work is done and no exception is thrown.

Examples

The following code shows how the method is called in an override of OnRestore(Object, SPRestoreInformation).

public bool OnRestore(Object sender, SPRestoreInformation info){    SPWebService liveService = SPWebService.GetLiveWebService(info);    //liveService is the restore target.    if (liveService == null)    {        throw new SPException(            SPResource.GetString(                Strings.RestoreWebServiceLiveServiceNotFound));    }    info.MergeSPPersistedObjectState(liveService);    liveService.Update();    // Handle non-merged persisted properties      …}
