How to Delete the document?

saravanakumar38

Hi,

I am creating application which is similar to Worksite web.

There is two option to delete the document.

1. Remove from folder
2. Delete the document

I don'tknow how to achieve these two functionality.I try to delete document using

parentFolders.ItemByIndex(1).Contents.RemoveByObject(currentDoc)
and
m_ConnectionInfo.UserSession.PreferredDatabase.DeleteDocument(docNumber, docVersion)

In both case i am able to remove the document from the folder. i can able to retrive the document object when i give monikerId.

Can any one clearly explain about the Deleting the document permanently and deleting Reference only? How to achieve these.

Thanks,

jny

DeleteDocument is used to expunge the record from the database; this is a permanent delete.

RemoveDocument is to remove the document reference from the folder. Keep in mind a document is not rooted to a folder; only a pointer to a document is contained in a folder. All documents belong in the flat space (database).

I'm curious to know how you are still able to get a handle to the document after you have deleted it. That shouldn't be the case unless your call GetObjectByID/GetObjectBySID is called in-line right after the delete call from within the same session. In that case, this happens because the object hasn't been refreshed - so to get the latest from the server -and instead you are getting the cached object. If you were to logout and log back in (through WorkSite client or SDK code) the get doc call should fail.
