Windows Mobile 2005 - Can you reset/clear Database (EDB) sync flags/count to avoid sync with Act
On Windows Mobile 2005 - Can you reset/clear Database (EDB) sync flags/count to avoid sync with ActiveSync? I found a serious BUG with WM2005 because the replication values (bit based) APIs are non functional...
Use for this is any type of application that would Backup the PIM (Contact, Tasks, Appointments) and any other databases and restore the database back to it's original value...
Currently there appears to be no working APIs that allow the developer to clear the 'need to sync' flag on an EDB record.
There is a *CRITICAL* flaw with this... If contact/task/appointment (EDB records) information originated on the desktop and then synced to the PDA then the PDA will contain an abreveated version of the Body of each item (ususally the first 10-15 lines) - As soon as the EDB is backed up and then restored every record is marked as "changed" and will be sync-ed back to the desktop. This will truncate (delete content) on every record on the desktop.
I am very surprised that no one has found/condisered this as an issue as backing up the database and restoring it is VITAL to any SECURE mobile device and enterprise solution.
Does anyone know of any hacks that allow direct 'resetting' of the replication settings on PIM (Contacts, Tasks, Appointements) EDB records?
