'Usage
Dim instance As MergeSynchronizationAgent 
Dim value As Boolean 

value = instance.UseWebSynchronization

instance.UseWebSynchronization = value

public virtual bool UseWebSynchronization { get; set; }

public:
virtual property bool UseWebSynchronization {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}

abstract UseWebSynchronization : bool with get, set 
override UseWebSynchronization : bool with get, set

function get UseWebSynchronization () : boolean 
function set UseWebSynchronization (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
True if Web synchronization is used; otherwise, false.

Implements
