SyncSchema Class

Represents the schema information that is required to create tables that are involved in synchronization.

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

Syntax

Remarks

The SyncSchema object contains the schema information for synchronization. You can manually construct this object so the client can obtain the schema information directly without accessing the underlying database on the server side.

Example

The following code example creates the schema for the OrderHeader and OrderDetail tables. The code first creates a schema based on a DataSet that contains only the OrderHeader table. As with the SyncAdapter, the table name must match the SyncTable name. The schema for the OrderDetail table is then added manually. This is the place to map data types if the application requires it.

DataSet orderHeaderDataSet = util.CreateDataSetFromServer();
orderHeaderDataSet.Tables[0].TableName = "OrderHeader";
this.Schema = new SyncSchema(orderHeaderDataSet);

this.Schema.Tables.Add("OrderDetail");

this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns.Add("OrderDetailId");
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["OrderDetailId"].ProviderDataType = "int";
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["OrderDetailId"].AllowNull = false;

this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns.Add("OrderId");
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["OrderId"].ProviderDataType = "uniqueidentifier";
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["OrderId"].RowGuid = true;
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["OrderId"].AllowNull = false;

this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns.Add("Product");
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["Product"].ProviderDataType = "nvarchar";
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["Product"].MaxLength = 100;
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["Product"].AllowNull = false;

this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns.Add("Quantity");
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["Quantity"].ProviderDataType = "int";
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].Columns["Quantity"].AllowNull = false;
           
//The primary key columns are passed as a string array.
string[] orderDetailPrimaryKey = new string[2];
orderDetailPrimaryKey[0] = "OrderDetailId";
orderDetailPrimaryKey[1] = "OrderId";
this.Schema.Tables["OrderDetail"].PrimaryKey = orderDetailPrimaryKey;
Dim orderHeaderDataSet As DataSet = util.CreateDataSetFromServer()
orderHeaderDataSet.Tables(0).TableName = "OrderHeader"
Me.Schema = New SyncSchema(orderHeaderDataSet)

With Me.Schema
    .Tables.Add("OrderDetail")

    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns.Add("OrderDetailId")
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("OrderDetailId").ProviderDataType = "int"
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("OrderDetailId").AllowNull = False

    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns.Add("OrderId")
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("OrderId").ProviderDataType = "uniqueidentifier"
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("OrderId").RowGuid = True
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("OrderId").AllowNull = False

    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns.Add("Product")
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("Product").ProviderDataType = "nvarchar"
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("Product").MaxLength = 100
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("Product").AllowNull = False

    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns.Add("Quantity")
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("Quantity").ProviderDataType = "int"
    .Tables("OrderDetail").Columns("Quantity").AllowNull = False
End With        

'The primary key columns are passed as a string array.
Dim orderDetailPrimaryKey(1) As String
orderDetailPrimaryKey(0) = "OrderDetailId"
orderDetailPrimaryKey(1) = "OrderId"
Me.Schema.Tables("OrderDetail").PrimaryKey = orderDetailPrimaryKey
