Synchronize(FileSystemEvents,Object,SynchronizationEvents,Object,SynchronizationOptions,Int32,FileSystemItem,IList,IList,Filter[]) Method


Xceed.Synchronization Assembly > Xceed.Synchronization Namespace > Synchronizer Class > Synchronize Method : Synchronize(FileSystemEvents,Object,SynchronizationEvents,Object,SynchronizationOptions,Int32,FileSystemItem,IList,IList,Filter[]) Method
A Xceed.FileSystem.FileSystemEvents object that will be used to raise Xceed.FileSystem events. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Opaque data that is sent back to the event handler when a Xceed.FileSystem event is raised.
A SynchronizationEvents object that will be used to raise Xceed.Synchronization events. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Opaque data that is sent back to the event handler when a synchronization event is raised.
A SynchronizationOptions object representing the options to use during the synchronization process. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
A value used to specify the index of the master item for the synchronization. The master item is the item that will be considered to be up to date and used to replace other items. Using a negative value specified no master and tells the method to find one automatically.
A Xceed.FileSystem.FileSystemItem object representing the location where meta data, if enabled, can be accessed. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
The items to be synchronized. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
An array of integers that contains indexes into the item list. These indexes identify items in the item list that should be considered irrelevant. An irrelevant item will still participate in the synchronization as normal. But it will be excluded from being selected as the master item.
An array of Xceed.FileSystem.Filter objects, which will be used to filter the specified synchronization items. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Starts the synchronization of the specified items.

This version of the Synchronize method is pointed to by all other versions of Synchronize, as it specifies all of the parameters.

Parameters

fileSystemEvents
A Xceed.FileSystem.FileSystemEvents object that will be used to raise Xceed.FileSystem events. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
fileSystemEventsUserData
Opaque data that is sent back to the event handler when a Xceed.FileSystem event is raised.
synchronizationEvents
A SynchronizationEvents object that will be used to raise Xceed.Synchronization events. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
synchronizationEventsUserData
Opaque data that is sent back to the event handler when a synchronization event is raised.
options
A SynchronizationOptions object representing the options to use during the synchronization process. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
masterItemIndex
A value used to specify the index of the master item for the synchronization. The master item is the item that will be considered to be up to date and used to replace other items. Using a negative value specified no master and tells the method to find one automatically.
metaDataItem
A Xceed.FileSystem.FileSystemItem object representing the location where meta data, if enabled, can be accessed. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
items
The items to be synchronized. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
irrelevantItemIndexes
An array of integers that contains indexes into the item list. These indexes identify items in the item list that should be considered irrelevant. An irrelevant item will still participate in the synchronization as normal. But it will be excluded from being selected as the master item.
filters
An array of Xceed.FileSystem.Filter objects, which will be used to filter the specified synchronization items. Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

A SynchronizationResult value that specifies one or more results from the synchronization. The value is a set of flags. Typically, a value with the SynchronizationResult.ItemsSynchronized bit set indicates success; when the bit is not set, it means that no files were synchronized, indicating some kind of failure.

In success or failure, the other bit values of the SynchronizationResult enumeration give useful information on what did or did not happen during the synchronization.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
