ReinitializeSubscription Method

Marks a subscription for reinitialization. After calling this method, an application must call the Synchronize method to download the latest snapshot of the publication to the device.

Namespace:  System.Data.SqlServerCe
Assembly:  System.Data.SqlServerCe (in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub ReinitializeSubscription ( _
    uploadBeforeReinitialize As Boolean _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlCeReplication
Dim uploadBeforeReinitialize As Boolean

instance.ReinitializeSubscription(uploadBeforeReinitialize)

public void ReinitializeSubscription(
    bool uploadBeforeReinitialize
)

public:
void ReinitializeSubscription(
    bool uploadBeforeReinitialize
)

member ReinitializeSubscription : 
        uploadBeforeReinitialize:bool -> unit 

public function ReinitializeSubscription(
    uploadBeforeReinitialize : boolean
)

Parameters

• uploadBeforeReinitialize
  Type: System. . :: . .Boolean
  If True, the changes in the subscription database are uploaded to the Publisher before the snapshot is applied at the Subscriber. The default is False.

Remarks

A flag is marked in the subscription system table to signify that during the next synchronization, the subscription should be reinitialized. After calling the ReinitializeSubscription method, the application must call the Synchronize method to delete the existing replica and download a new replica of the publication to the -based device.

Examples

Dim repl As SqlCeReplication = Nothing

Try
    ' Create SqlCeReplication instance
    '
    'NOTE: when possible, prompt users to enter security 
    'credentials at runtime. If you store credentials in a file, 
    'you must secure the file to prevent unauthorized access.
    '
    repl = New SqlCeReplication()
    repl.InternetUrl = "https://www.adventure-works.com/sqlmobile/sqlcesa35.dll"
    repl.InternetLogin = "MyInternetLogin"
    repl.InternetPassword = "<enterStrongPassword>"
    repl.Publisher = "MyPublisher"
    repl.PublisherDatabase = "MyPublisherDatabase"
    repl.PublisherLogin = "MyPublisherLogin"
    repl.PublisherPassword = "<enterStrongPassword>"
    repl.Publication = "MyPublication"
    repl.Subscriber = "MySubscriber"
    repl.SubscriberConnectionString = "Data Source=MyDatabase.sdf"

    ' Mark the subscription for reinitialization with Upload first
    '
    repl.ReinitializeSubscription(True)

    ' Synchronize to the SQL Server to populate the Subscription 
    '
    repl.Synchronize()
Catch
    ' Handle errors here
Finally
    ' Dispose the repl object
