public void DeleteResources(
Guid[] arrayRes,
string deletionComment
)
Parameters
- arrayRes
Type: []
Guids of the resources to delete.
- deletionComment
Type: System.String
A brief note describing the deletion. This comment is sent to any affected project manager when a resource in their project changes from an enterprise resource to a local resource.
Remarks
The resource must be checked out before it can be deleted.
A resource may not be deleted if the resource:
Has anything checked out
Is the current user
Owns a project
Is a timesheet manager
Owns an assignment
Is the default assignment owner
Is used in a resource plan
Project Server Permissions

|---|---|
Allows a user to delete information from the database. Global permission. |
Examples
The following example creates several resources, retrieving them if they already exist, reports them, and then deletes them.
