Hi Jérôme,
In WinFS Sync we have the concept of a replica. A replica defines some set
of items in a WinFS store that can be synchronized in a sync session. In
Beta 1, WinFS Sync allows you to create a replica whose scope is defined as
all items under some container. So, when you call
Replica.Create(myReplicaRoot), where myReplicaRoot is some container of your
choosing, you are creating a replica encompassing all items contained under
myReplicaRoot. The Replica item you create in WinFS is used by the system to
store synchronization metadata associated with that synchronization scope.
When you see a Replica item attached to some container in WinFS, you know
that container is the root of a synchronization scope.
In your case you've created a replica whose scope is all entities under
\Replica. So, you can't use this replica to synchronize the items contained
in \Krystal as those items are not within the synchronization scope for that
replica. If you would like to synchronize items contained in \Krystal, you
should create a replica containing those items by supplying the Krystal
folder as the first argument to Replica.Create(). You can then use this new
replica for your sync.
You can refer to the topics under the WinFS Sync node in the WinFS SDK for
more details about replicas and synchronization scopes.
I hope that helps,
Neil
