CRMAccount.Delete Method
The Delete method deletes an account. When Delete is called on an account, all child objects of the account are also deleted. If the caller does not have the DELETE privilege for any of these child objects, then the entire deletion fails.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub Delete(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal AccountId As String
)
[C#]
public void Delete(
CUserAuth Caller,
string AccountId
);
[C++]
public: void Delete(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* AccountId
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. The caller must have the prvDeleteAccount privilege to perform this action. See CUserAuth.
AccountId
Specifies the ID of the account to be deleted.
Return Value
No return value.
Remarks
If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.
All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}
