FileSyncProvider Constructor (String, FileSyncScopeFilter, FileSyncOptions, String, String, String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the FileSyncProvider class that is based on the specified root directory path, scope filter, configuration options, metadata storage file path, metadata storage file name, temporary file path, and path to store conflict loser files.

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

'Usage

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.

• scopeFilter
  A static scope filter that specifies which files or directories in the local file store are included in the scope. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

• fileSyncOptions
  Flags that determine the behavior of the provider during synchronization.

• metadataDirectoryPath
  The absolute path to the metadata storage file. The directory must be created before calling this constructor. The application must ensure this directory is secured with the right level of security permissions to prevent information disclosure.

• metadataFileName
  The name of the metadata storage file.

• tempDirectoryPath
  The absolute path where temporary files will be stored. The directory must be created before calling this constructor. The application must ensure this directory is secured with the right level of security permissions to prevent information disclosure.

• pathToSaveConflictLoserFiles
  The absolute path where files that are conflict losers will be stored. The directory must be created before calling this constructor. To help prevent information disclosure, the application must ensure that this directory is secured with the appropriate level of security permissions. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	rootDirectoryPath is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ArgumentException	rootDirectoryPath, metadataDirectoryPath, metadataFileName, tempDirectoryPath, or pathToSaveConflictLoserFiles is 0 length; rootDirectoryPath, metadataDirectoryPath, metadataFileName, tempDirectoryPath, or pathToSaveConflictLoserFiles contains wildcards; or rootDirectoryPath, metadataDirectoryPath, tempDirectoryPath, or pathToSaveConflictLoserFiles does not exist.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	fileSyncOptions is not in the FileSyncOptions enumeration.
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.
