ChangeBatchBase.AddChange Method

Adds a specified item change to the group that is currently open

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub AddChange ( _
    change As ItemChange _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As ChangeBatchBase
Dim change As ItemChange

instance.AddChange(change)

public void AddChange (
    ItemChange change
)

public:
void AddChange (
    ItemChange^ change
)

public void AddChange (
    ItemChange change
)

public function AddChange (
    change : ItemChange
)

Parameters

• change
  An item change to add to the group that is currently open.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
ChangeBatchIsReadOnlyException	The change batch has already been sent to a change applier or synchronization session. Changes cannot be added to the batch after it has been sent.

Remarks

Before item changes can be added to a ChangeBatchBase object, a group must be opened by calling BeginOrderedGroup or the BeginUnorderedGroup method of the ChangeBatch object. Otherwise, this method throws InvalidOperationException.

Example

The following example implements GetChangeBatch by adding items to an ordered group in a change batch. An item is only added when its change version is not contained in the destination knowledge.

Public Overrides Function GetChangeBatch(ByVal batchSize As UInteger, ByVal destinationKnowledge As SyncKnowledge) As ChangeBatch
    ' The destination knowledge must be converted to be compatible with the source replica
    ' before it can be used.
    Dim mappedDestKnowledge As SyncKnowledge = _knowledge.MapRemoteKnowledgeToLocal(destinationKnowledge)

    ' Create a new change batch, initialized by using the current knowledge of the source replica
    ' and a new ForgottenKnowledge object.
    Dim changeBatch As New ChangeBatch(IdFormats, GetKnowledge(), New ForgottenKnowledge())

    ' Start a group of changes in the change batch. The group is ordered by item ID.
    ' _getChangeBatchCurrent is 0 the first time GetChangeBatch is called, and is used to track the
    ' position in the metadata store for subsequent calls to GetChangeBatch.
    changeBatch.BeginOrderedGroup(_items.Values(_getChangeBatchCurrent).GlobalId)

    ' itemsAdded is incremented each time a change is added to the change batch. When itemsAdded
    ' is greater than the requested batch size, enumeration stops and the change batch is returned.
    Dim itemsAdded As Integer = 0

    Dim itemMeta As ItemMetadata

    ' Enumerate items and add a change to the change batch if it is not contained in the 
    ' destination knowledge.
    ' _items is a SortedList that contains ItemMetadata objects that are ordered by item ID.
    While itemsAdded <= batchSize AndAlso _getChangeBatchCurrent < _items.Count
        itemMeta = _items.Values(_getChangeBatchCurrent)
        Dim kind As ChangeKind = If((itemMeta.IsDeleted), ChangeKind.Deleted, ChangeKind.Update)
        Dim change As New ItemChange(IdFormats, ReplicaId, itemMeta.GlobalId, kind, itemMeta.CreationVersion, itemMeta.ChangeVersion)

        ' If the change is not contained in the destination knowledge, add it to the change batch.
        If Not mappedDestKnowledge.Contains(change) Then
            changeBatch.AddChange(change)
            itemsAdded += 1
        End If
        _getChangeBatchCurrent += 1
    End While

    ' End the group of changes in the change batch. Pass the current source knowledge.
    changeBatch.EndOrderedGroup(_items.Values(_getChangeBatchCurrent - 1).GlobalId, _knowledge)

    ' When all items in the metadata store have been enumerated, set this batch as the
    ' last batch.
    If _getChangeBatchCurrent = _items.Count Then
        changeBatch.SetLastBatch()
    End If

    Return changeBatch
End Function
