Conflict Resolution in Sync Services

Hi,

I am not able to view my post in the archives so re-posting.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello,

I am using the Sync Services APIs to synchronize a test application with the Mac Address Book. I have the following queries regarding conflicts:

1] Suppose I add the following entry to Mac:

Mac Address Book(MAB):
======================
Name: Anne Roberts
Address: 310-443 Company way,
        Sacramento,
        CA,
        USA.
Notes: Entry added on 19th September
======================

The above entry is synced with my test application. Now consider the case where I modify the "Notes" on both the ends such that they differ in only white-spaces. E.g.:
MAB:
======================
Name: Anne Roberts
Address: 310-443 Company way,
        Sacramento,
        CA,
        USA.
Notes:        Entry        added on 19th September
======================

and test application has:
======================
Name: Anne Roberts
Address: 310-443 Company way,
        Sacramento,
        CA,
        USA.
Notes:  Entry      added      on    19th September
======================

In the next sync cycle, what I see is the conflict resolution alert pops up.

Doesn't the conflict resolution scheme take care of the difference in only the white-spaces? If not, what is the best way not to encounter a conflict in such a scenario?

2] Is there a way to programatically enforce one of the conflicting entries (E.g.: Entry from Test Application) to be always chosen as a winner in case of conflicts?

Regards,
Reshma
