)

Parameters

properties

An SPWebEventProperties object that represents properties of the event handler.

Web site deletion events occur in the following cases:

• The Web site is deleted through the user interface.

• The folder that contains a Web site is deleted in an application that is compatible with Windows SharePoint Services (such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007) through remote procedure call protocol (RPC).

• The folder that contains a Web site is deleted through Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV).

Web site deletion events only occur for the first Web site in a chain of sites. For example, if a Web site at http://TopSite/Site, which has the subwebs http://TopSite/Site/Subsite1 and http://TopSite/Site/Subsite2, is deleted in Office SharePoint Designer 2007, only one deletion event occurs, namely, for the http://TopSite/Site root Web site.

This class supports event cancellation and error messages.
