DbServerSyncProvider Class

Abstracts a generic server synchronization provider that communicates with the server database and shields the synchronization agent from the specific implementation of the database.

The principal activities of the server synchronization provider are as follows:

• Stores information about tables on the server that are enabled for synchronization.

• Enables applications to retrieve changes that occurred in the server database since the last synchronization.

• Applies incremental changes to the server database.

• Detects conflicting changes.

The following code example creates a class that derives from DbServerSyncProvider. The class creates a connection and commands to download changes for snapshot synchronization. To view this code in the context of a complete example, see How to: Download a Snapshot of Data to a Client.

public class SampleServerSyncProvider : DbServerSyncProvider
{
    public SampleServerSyncProvider()
    {
        //Create a connection to the sample server database.
        Utility util = new Utility();
        SqlConnection serverConn = new SqlConnection(util.ServerConnString);
        this.Connection = serverConn;
      
        //Create a SyncAdapter for each table, and then define
        //the command to select rows from the table. With the Snapshot
        //option, you do not download incremental changes. However,
        //you still use the SelectIncrementalInsertsCommand to select
        //the rows to download for each snapshot. The commands include
        //only those columns that you want on the client.

        //Customer table.
        SyncAdapter customerSyncAdapter = new SyncAdapter("Customer");
        SqlCommand customerIncrInserts = new SqlCommand();
        customerIncrInserts.CommandText = 
            "SELECT CustomerId, CustomerName, SalesPerson, CustomerType " +
            "FROM Sales.Customer";
        customerIncrInserts.Connection = serverConn;
        customerSyncAdapter.SelectIncrementalInsertsCommand = customerIncrInserts;
        this.SyncAdapters.Add(customerSyncAdapter);

        //OrderHeader table.
        SyncAdapter orderHeaderSyncAdapter = new SyncAdapter("OrderHeader");
        SqlCommand orderHeaderIncrInserts = new SqlCommand();
        orderHeaderIncrInserts.CommandText = 
            "SELECT OrderId, CustomerId, OrderDate, OrderStatus " +
            "FROM Sales.OrderHeader";
        orderHeaderIncrInserts.Connection = serverConn;
        orderHeaderSyncAdapter.SelectIncrementalInsertsCommand = orderHeaderIncrInserts;
        this.SyncAdapters.Add(orderHeaderSyncAdapter);
        
        //OrderDetail table.
        SyncAdapter orderDetailSyncAdapter = new SyncAdapter("OrderDetail");
        SqlCommand orderDetailIncrInserts = new SqlCommand();
