Quick Start: Deleting a resource using the web service API

The following C# code example deletes a resource called testResourceToBeDeleted in the repository.

using System;

using System.Collections;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.IO;

namespace RepositoryWebService

{

	class DeleteResource

	{

		[STAThread]

		static void Main(string[] args)

		{

            // This example will delete a resource from the LiveCycle ES repository.

            // First, a resource will be created and written to the repository.

            // That resource will then be deleted from the repository.

            try

			{

				//Create a RepositoryServiceService object

				RepositoryServiceService repositoryClient = new RepositoryServiceService();

				repositoryClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("administrator", "password");

                // Specify the URI of the target folder for writing the resource

                String testFolderUri = "/testFolder";

                // Create the resource to be written to the folder

                Resource testResource = new Resource();

                testResource.id = new Id();

                testResource.lid = new Lid();

                testResource.name = "testResourceToBeDeleted";

                testResource.description = "test resource to be deleted";

                // Write the resource to the folder

                repositoryClient.writeResource(testFolderUri, testResource, null, null);

                // Retrieve the resource’ URI

                String resourceUri = testFolderUri + "/" + testResource.name;

                // Retrieve the resource to verify that it was successfully written

                Resource r = repositoryClient.readResource(resourceUri, null, null);

			    // Print the resource verification message

			    Console.WriteLine("Resource " + resourceUri + " was successfully written.");

                // Delete the resource

                string[] uris = new string[1];

                uris[0] = resourceUri;

                repositoryClient.deleteResources(uris, null);

			    // Verify that the resource has been deleted 

			    try {

				    // Attempt to read the nonexistent resource,

				    // which will cause an exception if the resource was deleted.

				    BLOB doc = repositoryClient.readResourceContent(resourceUri, null);

			    } catch (Exception re) {

				    // Indicate successful deletion

                    Console.WriteLine("Resource " + resourceUri + " was successfully deleted.");

			    }

            }

			catch (Exception e)

			{

                Console.WriteLine(

                    "Exception thrown while trying to delete the resource" + 

                    e.Message

                );

			}

		}

	}
