CloudBlobContainer.BeginDelete Method (BlobRequestOptions, AsyncCallback, Object)

Storage Client Library NET API

[This topic is part of the Microsoft Azure Storage Client Library 1.7, which has been deprecated. See Storage Client Library for the latest version.]

Begins an asynchronous operation to delete a container, using a conditional request based on the BlobRequestOptions that you specify.

Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient (in Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll)

Usage

Visual Basic
Dim instance As CloudBlobContainer
Dim options As BlobRequestOptions
Dim callback As AsyncCallback
Dim state As Object
Dim returnValue As IAsyncResult

returnValue = instance.BeginDelete(options, callback, state)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function BeginDelete ( _
	options As BlobRequestOptions, _
	callback As AsyncCallback, _
	state As Object _
) As IAsyncResult
C#
public IAsyncResult BeginDelete (
	BlobRequestOptions options,
	AsyncCallback callback,
	Object state
)
C++
public:
IAsyncResult^ BeginDelete (
	BlobRequestOptions^ options, 
	AsyncCallback^ callback, 
	Object^ state
)
J#
JScript

Parameters

options

Type: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.BlobRequestOptions

An object that specifies any additional options for the request.

callback

Type: System.AsyncCallback

The callback delegate that will receive notification when the asynchronous operation completes.

state

Type: System.Object

A user-defined object that will be passed to the callback delegate.

Return Value

Type: System.IAsyncResult

An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous operation.

Remarks

When a container is deleted, a container with the same name cannot be created for at least 35 seconds; the container may not be available for more than 35 seconds if the service is still processing the request. While the container is being deleted, attempts to create a container of the same name will fail with the service returning additional error information indicating that the container is being deleted. All other operations, including operations on any blobs under the container, will fail until the container has been deleted.
