    CompareFileData Field
    In This Topic
    A boolean value indicating whether file data will be compared to detect conflicts between files. If set to false, only the date and time of files will be used to detect conflicts during the synchronization.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public CompareFileData As Boolean
    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As SynchronizationOptions
    Dim value As Boolean
     
    value = instance.CompareFileData
     
    instance.CompareFileData = value
    public bool CompareFileData
    Remarks

    When synchronizing very large, nearly identical files, comparing their data for differences will be time-consuming. In these cases, performance can be improved by setting this field to false. However, there is then a risk that some conflicts will not be detected and that you may lose modifications made to files that are not designated as masters.

    The default value of this field is true.

    Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
