FileSystemProviderBase.DeleteFile(FileManagerFile) Method

Override this method to implement file deletion.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

public virtual void DeleteFile(
    FileManagerFile file
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Sub DeleteFile(
    file As FileManagerFile
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
file	FileManagerFile	A FileManagerFile object that is the deleted file.

Remarks

If you create a custom file system provider inherited from the FileSystemProviderBase class, you can override the DeleteFile method to perform file deletion.

By default, the method has no implementation, and should be overridden if file deletion is allowed (the FileManagerSettingsEditing.AllowDelete property is set to true).

Example

C#
