Public Function EndDeleteTableIfExist ( _
	asyncResult As IAsyncResult _
) As Boolean
C#
public bool EndDeleteTableIfExist (
	IAsyncResult asyncResult
)
C++
public:
bool EndDeleteTableIfExist (
	IAsyncResult^ asyncResult
)
J#
JScript

Parameters

asyncResult

Type: System.IAsyncResult

An IAsyncResult that references the pending asynchronous operation.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean

Example

The following code example deletes a table asynchronously if it exists.

 Copy Code
public static void DeleteTableIfExistsAsync(CloudStorageAccount storageAccount)
{
    // Create service client for credentialed access to the Table service.
    CloudTableClient tableClient = new CloudTableClient(
            storageAccount.TableEndpoint.ToString(),
            storageAccount.Credentials);

    tableClient.BeginDeleteTableIfExist(
        "Categories", DeleteTableIfExistAsyncCallback, tableClient);
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000); // wait, the async task is completing.
}

public static void DeleteTableIfExistAsyncCallback(IAsyncResult result)
{
    CloudTableClient tableClient = (CloudTableClient)result.AsyncState;

    // End the operation.
    if (tableClient.EndDeleteTableIfExist(result))
        Console.WriteLine("Table deleted.");
    else
        Console.WriteLine("Table doesn't exist; could not be deleted.");
}
