Sync Framework : Can I Sync only a subset of my tables?

Question

The regular code snippet of syncing data with sync framework is this:

LocalDBSyncAgent syncAgent = new LocalDBSyncAgent();
Microsoft.Synchronization.Data.Syn         


        

Answer 1

There are some new database related sync providers in Sync Framework 2.0 - they have a number of benefits over the ones that were previously available (see Comparing Provider Types here). With these, you can specify that a subset of tables should be synchronized by building a DbSyncScopeDescription that contains DbSyncTableDescriptions for only those tables that you wish to synchronize.

You stated above that you are not interested in filtering the data but it is probably worth mentioning here that a DbSyncScopeDescription also contains filtering information.
