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.

Namespace: Microsoft.Synchronization.Data.Server
Assembly: Microsoft.Synchronization.Data.Server (in microsoft.synchronization.data.server.dll)

Remarks

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.

Example

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();            
        orderDetailIncrInserts.CommandText = 
            "SELECT OrderDetailId, OrderId, Product, Quantity " +
            "FROM Sales.OrderDetail";
        orderDetailIncrInserts.Connection = serverConn;
        orderDetailSyncAdapter.SelectIncrementalInsertsCommand = orderDetailIncrInserts;
        this.SyncAdapters.Add(orderDetailSyncAdapter);
    }
}
