    My requirement is to sync a local SQL CE client with a SQL server. I have a table which has to be selectively synchronized(on multiple row values called CustomerIds) with the local DB(sqlce) 

    Here is what i  have currently :

    1. Create a local SQLCe db for each CustomerID and ,
    2. Create a template filter in the server on CustomerID and create scopes when required depending on the client to sync with.
    3. As i have a dynamically changing collection of CustomerIds to sync with the server, I sychronize multiple times with the server in a For loop with the CustomerId as a filter parameter(also creating new scopes).

    The looping through multiple values is killing the performance. Is there a way to send a collection of values as a Scope filter parameter and do it dynamically? If so how do i configure the scopes for the client and the server?

    Thanks in advance.

    The List of CustomerIds to be synced depends on another independent query, so it does change pretty often.

    you can do an IN clause in your FilterClause, e.g., CustomerId IN (Select CustomerId from CustomerIdsTable where ClientId = @ClientId)

    however, please note that Sync Framework doesnt support "partition re-alignment" or rows going "in-scope" and "out-of-scope".

    Assuming your client initially has customer Ids 1 and 2. The you change the filter so that the customer Id list is now 1 and 3. The previously downloaded data for customer Id 2 will not be removed from your client (these rows just went out of scope). Likewise, unless the rows for customer Id 3 has been updated since the last synch, they will not be downloaded by your client (these are rows are going in-scope).
