CompareFileData Field

A boolean value indicating whether file data will be compared to detect conflicts between files. If set to false, only the date and time of files will be used to detect conflicts during the synchronization.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public CompareFileData As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SynchronizationOptions

Dim value As Boolean

 

value = instance.CompareFileData

 

instance.CompareFileData = value

public bool CompareFileData

Remarks

When synchronizing very large, nearly identical files, comparing their data for differences will be time-consuming. In these cases, performance can be improved by setting this field to false. However, there is then a risk that some conflicts will not be detected and that you may lose modifications made to files that are not designated as masters.

The default value of this field is true.

Requirements
