This article describes how to use Microsoft XML 3.0 or Microsoft XML 4.0 to delete folders from a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server computer or a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) computer by using Microsoft Visual C#.
Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
Under Project Types, click Visual C# Projects.
Note In Visual Studio 2005, click Visual C#.
Under Templates, select Console Application, and then click OK. By default, Class1.cs is created in Visual Studio .NET. Program.cs is created in Visual Studio 2005.
Add a reference to the XML 3.0 component or to the XML 4.0 component. To do this, follow these steps:
On the Project menu, click Add Reference.
On the COM tab, click Microsoft XML, v3.0 or Microsoft XML, v4.0, and then click Select.
Note In Visual Studio 2005, you do not have to click Select.
In the Add References dialog box, click OK to accept your selections. If you receive a prompt to generate wrappers for the libraries that you selected, click Yes.
In the code window, replace all the code with:
using System;
using System.Reflection;
namespace WebDav
{
class Class1
{
public static void Main(String [] args)
{
try
{
MSXML2.XMLHTTP30 oXMLHttp = new MSXML2.XMLHTTP30();
// TODO: Replace the URL with your Exchange 2000 Server folder or IIS server folder URL.
String sUrl = "http://Server/VirtualDirectory/MyFolder";
oXMLHttp.open("DELETE", sUrl, false,"UserDomain\UserAlias", "UserPassword");
String sXml = "";
oXMLHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
oXMLHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", "" + sXml.Length);
oXMLHttp.send(Missing.Value);
Console.WriteLine(oXMLHttp.responseText);
Console.WriteLine(oXMLHttp.status);
Console.WriteLine(oXMLHttp.statusText);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception caught.", e);
}
}
}
}
Modify the code where you see the "TODO" comments.
Press F5 to build and to run the program.
Verify that the specified folder specified was deleted.
