	Name	Gets or sets the name of the parameter.
	Value	Gets or sets the value of the parameter.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether a SyncParameter object is equal to the specified object. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)
	Finalize	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a SyncParameter. This is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures such as a hash table. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().)
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	(Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the SyncParameter object. (Overrides Object.ToString().)

Operators

	Name	Description
	Equality	Determines whether the two specified SyncParameter objects are equal.
	Inequality	Determines whether the two specified SyncParameter objects are not equal.

Remarks

Synchronization parameters are typically used to pass filtering information to the synchronization agent. These parameters are then used in commands for the synchronization adapter.

Examples

The following code example is from a class that derives from SyncAgent. This code creates a SyncParameter object that specifies a value for the @SalesPerson parameter. In an application, this value might come from a login ID or other user input. To view code in the context of a complete example, see How to: Filter Rows and Columns.

this.Configuration.SyncParameters.Add(
    new SyncParameter("@SalesPerson", "Brenda Diaz"));

Me.Configuration.SyncParameters.Add(New SyncParameter("@SalesPerson", "Brenda Diaz"))

The following code example is from a class that derives from DbServerSyncProvider. This code specifies which inserted columns and rows to download for the Customer table. You can hardcode a value for SalesPerson. However, it is more common to use a parameter that has a value that can change, as shown in the example. The example passes the filter parameter together with the other parameters that are required to download incremental inserts.

SqlCommand customerIncrInserts = new SqlCommand();
customerIncrInserts.CommandText =
    "SELECT CustomerId, CustomerName, CustomerType " +
    "FROM Sales.Customer " +
    "WHERE SalesPerson = @SalesPerson " +
    "AND (InsertTimestamp > @sync_last_received_anchor " +
    "AND InsertTimestamp <= @sync_new_received_anchor " +
    "AND InsertId <> @sync_client_id)";
customerIncrInserts.Parameters.Add("@SalesPerson", SqlDbType.NVarChar);
customerIncrInserts.Parameters.Add("@" + SyncSession.SyncLastReceivedAnchor, SqlDbType.Timestamp);
customerIncrInserts.Parameters.Add("@" + SyncSession.SyncNewReceivedAnchor, SqlDbType.Timestamp);
customerIncrInserts.Parameters.Add("@" + SyncSession.SyncClientId, SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier);
customerIncrInserts.Connection = serverConn;
customerSyncAdapter.SelectIncrementalInsertsCommand = customerIncrInserts;

Dim customerIncrInserts As New SqlCommand()
With customerIncrInserts
    .CommandText = _
        "SELECT CustomerId, CustomerName, CustomerType " _
      & "FROM Sales.Customer " _
      & "WHERE SalesPerson = @SalesPerson " _
      & "AND (InsertTimestamp > @sync_last_received_anchor " _
      & "AND InsertTimestamp <= @sync_new_received_anchor " _
      & "AND InsertId <> @sync_client_id)"
    .Parameters.Add("@SalesPerson", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
    .Parameters.Add("@" + SyncSession.SyncLastReceivedAnchor, SqlDbType.Timestamp)
    .Parameters.Add("@" + SyncSession.SyncNewReceivedAnchor, SqlDbType.Timestamp)
    .Parameters.Add("@" + SyncSession.SyncClientId, SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier)
    .Connection = serverConn
End With
customerSyncAdapter.SelectIncrementalInsertsCommand = customerIncrInserts
