    UseMetaData Field
    In This Topic
    A boolean value indicating whether meta data should be used during the synchronization.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    
    Public UseMetaData As Boolean
    'Usage
     
    
    Dim instance As SynchronizationOptions
    Dim value As Boolean
     
    value = instance.UseMetaData
     
    instance.UseMetaData = value
    public bool UseMetaData
    Remarks

    The meta data represents the last synchronization date (the last write date of the synchronization's master file).

    The use of meta data is optional. However, when doing repeated synchronizations on the same date, meta data can be very useful. For example, if a file is found that has been modified after the last synchronization date, but is not selected as the master file, overwriting it would result in a loss of the modifications in that file.

    The default value of this field is true.
