Synchronous Data Synchronization
An application uses the Replication object to synchronize an existing Microsoft SQL Server subscription. You can also synchronize a subscription you have created in SQL Server Management Studio.
Using the Replication Object to Synchronize Data
In Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, the application calls the Synchronize and Dispose methods on a single instance of the Replication object. In native applications, you must call the Initialize, Run, and Terminate methods in succession on a single instance of the Replication object.
Note
SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition (SQL Server Compact Edition) subscriptions must always be synchronized with the original Publisher; a SQL Server Compact Edition subscription cannot be directly synchronized with another.
