Hi all,
Was looking at the sample given on how to solve the data conflict when using syncfx.
This is the source code given in the sample to handle the event when conflict is detected during synchronization.
private void dbProvider_ApplyChangeFailed(object sender, DbApplyChangeFailedEventArgs e)
{
//For conflict detection, the "local" database is the one at which the
//ApplyChangeFailed event occurs. We determine at which database the event
//fired and then compare the name of that database to the names of
//the databases specified as the LocalProvider and RemoteProvider.
string DbConflictDetected = e.Connection.Database.ToString();
string DbOther;
DbOther = DbConflictDetected == _localProviderDatabase ? _remoteProviderDatabase : _localProviderDatabase;
Console.WriteLine(String.Empty);
Console.WriteLine("Conflict of type " + e.Conflict.Type + " was detected at " + DbConflictDetected + ".");
if (e.Conflict.Type == DbConflictType.LocalUpdateRemoteUpdate)
{
//Get the conflicting changes from the Conflict object
//and display them. The Conflict object holds a copy
//of the changes; updates to this object will not be
//applied. To make changes, use the Context object.
DataTable conflictingRemoteChange = e.Conflict.RemoteChange;
DataTable conflictingLocalChange = e.Conflict.LocalChange;
int remoteColumnCount = conflictingRemoteChange.Columns.Count;
int localColumnCount = conflictingLocalChange.Columns.Count;
Console.WriteLine(String.Empty);
Console.WriteLine(String.Empty);
Console.WriteLine("Row from database " + DbConflictDetected);
Console.Write(" | ");
//Display the local row. As mentioned above, this is the row
//from the database at which the conflict was detected.
for (int i = 0; i < localColumnCount; i++)
{
Console.Write(conflictingLocalChange.Rows[0][i] + " | ");
}
Console.WriteLine(String.Empty);
Console.WriteLine(String.Empty);
Console.WriteLine(String.Empty);
Console.WriteLine("Row from database " + DbOther);
Console.Write(" | ");
//Display the remote row.
for (int i = 0; i < remoteColumnCount; i++)
{
Console.Write(conflictingRemoteChange.Rows[0][i] + " | ");
}
//Ask for a conflict resolution option.
Console.WriteLine(String.Empty);
Console.WriteLine(String.Empty);
Console.WriteLine("Enter a resolution option for this conflict:");
Console.WriteLine("A = change from " + DbConflictDetected + " wins.");
Console.WriteLine("B = change from " + DbOther + " wins.");
string conflictResolution = Console.ReadLine();
conflictResolution.ToUpper();
if (conflictResolution == "A")
{
e.Action = ApplyAction.Continue;
}
else if (conflictResolution == "B")
{
e.Action = ApplyAction.RetryWithForceWrite;
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Empty);
Console.WriteLine("Not a valid resolution option.");
}
}
}
In the sample, the conflict is resolved by asking user what kind of action to take, but what I want to perform is to compare the last write time in both remote and local db, and apply ApplyAction.RetryWithForceWrite if the row in db to be written is written
at earlier time than the source.
However, in the datatable
DataTable conflictingRemoteChange = e.Conflict.RemoteChange
I am not able to find the field that stated the last change datetime, so I want to know which stored procedures generated by the framework/ additional code that I have to add in to my program to retrieve this information, so that I can know whether to apply
the changes to database.
Many thanks in advance!
