public void QueueDeleteProjects(
    Guid jobUid,
    bool deleteWSS,
    Guid[] projectUids,
    bool deleteBoth
)

Parameters

  • deleteWSS
    Type: System.Boolean
    If true, deletes the SharePoint site that is associated with each specified project.
  • projectUids
    Type: []
    An array of project GUIDs.
  • deleteBoth
    Type: System.Boolean
    If True, deletes the projects in both the working database and the published database. If False, deletes the projects from only the published database.

Remarks

QueueDeleteProjects is an asynchronous method that sends a message to the Project Server Queuing Service.
