UseMetaData Field

A boolean value indicating whether meta data should be used during the synchronization.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public UseMetaData As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SynchronizationOptions
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.UseMetaData
 
instance.UseMetaData = value

public bool UseMetaData

Remarks

The meta data represents the last synchronization date (the last write date of the synchronization's master file).

The use of meta data is optional. However, when doing repeated synchronizations on the same date, meta data can be very useful. For example, if a file is found that has been modified after the last synchronization date, but is not selected as the master file, overwriting it would result in a loss of the modifications in that file.

The default value of this field is true.
