    There is a mothod on SyncOrchestator (Cancel()) that I can call.  When I call it (in a thread safe way), I get the error below.  What is the best way to cancel a running sync?  I may be in the middle of thousands of rows for a give table.

    This operation is not valid in any state of the object except for SyncAgentState.Uploading or SyncAgentState.Downloading.

     

    Orchestrator =
          new SyncOrchestrator
            {
              LocalProvider = providerSource,
              RemoteProvider = providerDestination,
              Direction = SyncDirectionOrder.UploadAndDownload
            };

...

 Orchestrator.Cancel();

    not sure if it will work with the collaboration providers, but in the offline providers, the best way to cancel a sync was to raise an exception in one of the provider's events.

    have you tried calling the Cancel inside one of the provider's events like the SyncProgress/ApplyingChanges/SelectingChanges?

    No, but I did figure it out.  The threading issues are a little confusing, but basically, I set a flag from inside the provider progress events, then keep a static handle to the orchestrator and execute the Orchestrator.Cancel() and that seems to very reliable (so far)

    THanks,

    Turns out, things are not going well.

    I really need a solid way to end the processing from my BackgroundWorker thread.

    When I call from inside my process events, it seems that the orchestrator is in the wrong state.  I check to make sure it's either uploading or downloading and it seems to not be in either, or when it is, I get a com interop crash error.

    I could really use some guidance on this.  That is, a solid way to abort the processing cleanly.

    Thanks

    Thanks June, throwing an exception solved the problem.
