DbApplyChangeFailedEventArgs.Action Property

Gets or sets a ApplyAction enumeration value that specifies the action to handle the conflict.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property Action As ApplyAction
'Usage
Dim instance As DbApplyChangeFailedEventArgs
Dim value As ApplyAction

value = instance.Action

instance.Action = value

public ApplyAction Action { get; set; }

public:
property ApplyAction Action {
    ApplyAction get ();
    void set (ApplyAction value);
}

/** @property */
public ApplyAction get_Action ()

/** @property */
public void set_Action (ApplyAction value)

public function get Action () : ApplyAction

public function set Action (value : ApplyAction)

Property Value

A ApplyAction enumeration value that specifies the action to handle the conflict.

Remarks

If a row cannot be applied during synchronization, the ApplyChangeFailed event is raised. The DbApplyChangeFailedEventArgs object provides information about the error or conflict that caused the failure. In a handler for the event, you can respond to the event in several ways, including specifying whether the synchronization provider should try to apply the row again. For more information, see How to: Handle Data Conflicts and Errors for Collaborative Synchronization (SQL Server).

Example

The following code examples show how update-update conflicts can be processed in an ApplyChangeFailed event handler. In the example, the conflicting rows are displayed to the console with an option to specify which row should win the conflict. To view this code in the context of a complete example, see How to: Handle Data Conflicts and Errors for Collaborative Synchronization (SQL Server).
