I'm working with some legacy exchange code and I am having trouble finding information about some methods/constants. A google search reveals others using similar code, but with no explanations. Does anyone have any ideas where I can find proper docs? One constant I am looking for is: SYNC_ASSOCIATED.

Exchange is a Microsoft protocol, so the best place to look is usually MSDN.

The MSDN library, however, seems curiously lacking on Exchange documentation, but an MSDN search looks in a few other places too.

In this case, it's led me to this blog post which gives you a number of constants as they would be defined in a C header file. SYNC_ASSOCIATED is defined as 0x10.

Thanks for the reply. I have been able to find the definitions as well, I was just hoping for some explanations as to what each is :)

There might be more detailed information if you find documentation for the specific methods that use them. I suggest looking at MSDN even though I couldn't find a reference to that definition - I'm not familiar with that API myself, so I don't really know what context you'd use it in, and therefore can't apply my search fu skills very well.

This is part of ICS, Exchange's mechanism for monitoring and tracking changes in a mailbox. See the ICS section of the bulk data transfer protocol spec.
