Examples

The following code example shows you how to delete two items. The deleted items are moved to the Deleted Items folder. If the item is a task, only the specified task is deleted. If the item is a meeting, a meeting cancellation is sent to all the attendees.

static void DeleteItem(ExchangeServiceBinding esb)
{ 
    // Create the request.
    DeleteItemType <span class="label">request</span> = new DeleteItemType();

    // Identify the items to delete.
    ItemIdType[] items = new ItemIdType[2];
    items[0] = new ItemIdType();
    items[0].Id = "AAAlAE1BQG1";
    items[1] = new ItemIdType();
    items[1].Id = "AAAlAE1BQG2";
<span class="label">request</span>.ItemIds = items;

    // Identify how deleted items are handled.
<span class="label">request</span>.DeleteType = DisposalType.MoveToDeletedItems;

    // Identify how tasks are deleted.
<span class="label">request</span>.AffectedTaskOccurrences = AffectedTaskOccurrencesType.SpecifiedOccurrenceOnly;
<span class="label">request</span>.AffectedTaskOccurrencesSpecified = true;

    // Identify how meeting cancellations are handled.
<span class="label">request</span>.SendMeetingCancellations = CalendarItemCreateOrDeleteOperationType.SendOnlyToAll;
<span class="label">request</span>.SendMeetingCancellationsSpecified = true;

    try
    {
        // Send the response and receive the request.
        DeleteItemResponseType response = esb.DeleteItem(<span class="label">request</span>);
        ArrayOfResponseMessagesType aormt = response.ResponseMessages;
        ResponseMessageType[] rmta = aormt.Items;

        // Check each response message.
        foreach (ResponseMessageType rmt in rmta)
        {
            if (rmt.ResponseClass == ResponseClassType.Success)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Deleted item.");
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    }
}

Remarks

The DeleteItemType class is used to delete items from a user's mailbox. The RemoveItem response object on a meeting cancellation notice should be used to remove canceled meetings from a user's mailbox.

The order of the items that is specified by the ItemIds property determines the order of the response messages that are returned in the response. This means that the second item that is identified to be deleted will correspond to the second response message. One response message is created for each item that is to be deleted.
