SPListItemCollection.Delete Method

SharePoint 2010

Windows SharePoint Services 3

Deletes the item at the specified index in the collection.

Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Available in Sandboxed Solutions: Yes
Available in SharePoint Online

Syntax

Copy

public void Delete(
	int iIndex
)

Parameters

iIndex: Type: System.Int32
A 32-bit integer that specifies the index.

Remarks

The Delete method deletes an item based on its index in the collection. To delete an item based on its ID, use the DeleteItemById method.

This method returns an ArgumentOutOfRangeException exception if the specified index is outside the valid range of indices for the collection.

Examples

The following code example deletes any items from the specified list in which an integer field value is less than 70 or a text field value equals None.

The For loop in the example counts downward (intindex-- ) instead of upward (intindex++ ) because items are being deleted and the number of items decreases with each increment.

Copy

SPWeb oWebsite = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["List_Name"];
SPListItemCollection collListItems = oList.Items;

for (int intIndex = collListItems.Count - 1; intIndex > -1; intIndex--)
{
    if (Convert.ToInt32(collListItems[intIndex]["Field1_Name"]) < 70 ||
        collListItems[intIndex]["Field2_Name"].ToString() == "None")
    {
        collListItems.Delete(intIndex);
    }
}
