Property Value

The ExchangeType constant that specifies whether data merges up to the Publisher only, or in both directions between the Publisher and the Subscriber.

Remarks

ExchangeType can be either of these constants:

Constant	Description
BiDirectional	Merges all changes between the Publisher and Subscriber (default).
Upload	Only merges the Subscriber changes with the Publisher.

BiDirectional is used first to upload data to the Publisher. After the upload is complete, data is then downloaded to the Subscriber. The ExchangeType property is forced to BiDirectional during initial synchronization or when a ReinitializeSubscription is requested.

Note

SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 does not support the ExchangeType value Download.
