ISyncDataConverter::ConvertDataToProviderFormat

  • Article

Converts data from an external format to a provider’s transfer format. The external format can be another provider's transfer format or an intermediate format that is used by a synchronization community.

HRESULT ConvertDataToProviderFormat(
  ILoadChangeContext *pDataContext,
  IUnknown *pUnkDataOut,
  IUnknown **ppUnkDataOut);

Parameters

  • pDataContext
    [in] An ILoadChangeContext object that represents information about a change to be loaded from the item store. This object can be used to set a recoverable error for a change if an issue occurs during data conversion.
  • pUnkDataOut
    [in] The data to be converted.
  • ppUnkDataout
    [out] The converted data.

Return Value

  • S_OK

  • Developer-defined error values

Remarks

If an error is returned from this method during data conversion, the synchronization session ends and returns the error code. If a recoverable error occurs during data conversion, sets that error on pDataContext instead of returning it. The item for which the error is set is then skipped during change application.
