FileSyncProvider Constructor (String)

Initializes a new instance of the FileSyncProvider class based on the specified root directory path.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    rootDirectoryPath As String _
)
'Usage
Dim rootDirectoryPath As String

Dim instance As New FileSyncProvider(rootDirectoryPath)

public FileSyncProvider (
    string rootDirectoryPath
)

public:
FileSyncProvider (
    String^ rootDirectoryPath
)

public FileSyncProvider (
    String rootDirectoryPath
)

public function FileSyncProvider (
    rootDirectoryPath : String
)

Parameters

• rootDirectoryPath
  The absolute path to the local file store for this provider. This is the folder that contains the files and subfolders to be synchronized.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	rootDirectoryPath is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ArgumentException	rootDirectoryPath is 0 length, rootDirectoryPath contains wildcards, or rootDirectoryPath does not exist.
ReplicaMetadataInUseException	Another provider instance was previously initialized with the same values for directory path and metadata file path, but has not yet been released.

Remarks

This form of the constructor can be used when the application does not use a replica ID to identify the replica. In this case, a replica ID is created and used by the object and stored in the metadata storage file.

This form of the constructor initializes the location of the metadata storage file and temporary files to be rootDirectoryPath. It initializes the path to save conflict loser files to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), and names the metadata storage file filesync.metadata. It initializes the filter to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) and the configuration options to None.
