IDbTableDataManager.DeleteRow Method

Removes a row from a table.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Web.Management.DatabaseManager
Assembly:  Microsoft.Web.Management.DatabaseManager (in Microsoft.Web.Management.DatabaseManager.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub DeleteRow ( _
    connectionString As String, _
    tableName As String, _
    schema As String, _
    columnDataInfoList As IList(Of ColumnDataInfo) _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As IDbTableDataManager
Dim connectionString As String
Dim tableName As String
Dim schema As String
Dim columnDataInfoList As IList(Of ColumnDataInfo)

instance.DeleteRow(connectionString, _
    tableName, schema, columnDataInfoList)
void DeleteRow(
    string connectionString,
    string tableName,
    string schema,
    IList<ColumnDataInfo> columnDataInfoList
)
void DeleteRow(
    String^ connectionString, 
    String^ tableName, 
    String^ schema, 
    IList<ColumnDataInfo^>^ columnDataInfoList
)
function DeleteRow(
    connectionString : String, 
    tableName : String, 
    schema : String, 
    columnDataInfoList : IList<ColumnDataInfo>
)

Parameters

  • connectionString
    Type: System.String
    The connection string for the database.
  • schema
    Type: System.String
    The schema name for the table.
    Note    If schema is empty, the default schema name will be used.

Remarks

All database providers that implement the IDbTableDataManager interface must also implement the DeleteRow method. The database manager will use this method to remove rows from a table in a database.

Notes for Implementers

If your provider does not support deleting rows, you can use the following code sample to raise a not-implemented exception:

public void DeleteRow(string connectionString, string tableName, string schema, IList<ColumnDataInfo> columnDataInfoList)

{

   throw new NotImplementedException();

}

Note

See the DELETE (Transact-SQL) topic for more information about the DELETE SQL statement.

Examples

The following code sample implements the DeleteRow method to remove a row from an OLEDB data source.

Note

This example also provides helper methods that perform additional database tasks.
