static member DeleteProfiles : string[] -> int
Public Shared Function DeleteProfiles (usernames As String()) As Integer

Parameters

usernames
String[]

A string array of user names for profiles to be deleted.

Returns

Int32

The number of profiles deleted from the data source.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The length of usernames is zero.

-or-

Examples

The following code example shows an ASP.NET page that manages inactive profiles. A GridView control displays the inactive profiles returned. Each row of the GridView control includes a button that deletes the profile for that row from the data source with a call to the DeleteProfiles method.

Important

This example contains a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Remarks

The DeleteProfiles method deletes all profile information and properties for the specified profiles from the data source for the application specified by the ApplicationName property. The list of profiles to delete is specified as a string array of user names. If profile properties and information exist in the data source for a user name in the usernames parameter, they are deleted.

The return value may differ from the length of the specified array of usernames. This indicates that some of the profiles in the specified array of usernames were already deleted from the data store.

The DeleteProfiles method calls the DeleteProfiles method of the default profile provider. The default profile provider is specified using the defaultProvider attribute of the profile configuration element. If the user profile contains properties that are managed by a profile provider other than the default provider, they are not deleted. To delete profile properties that are managed by a profile provider other than the default provider, obtain a reference to the profile provider using the Providers property and call the DeleteProfiles method of the provider directly.

public static int DeleteProfiles (System.Web.Profile.ProfileInfoCollection profiles);
static member DeleteProfiles : System.Web.Profile.ProfileInfoCollection -> int
Public Shared Function DeleteProfiles (profiles As ProfileInfoCollection) As Integer

Parameters

profiles
ProfileInfoCollection

A ProfileInfoCollection that contains profile information for profiles to be deleted.

Returns

Int32

The number of profiles deleted from the data source.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

profiles has a Count value of zero.

-or-

One of the ProfileInfo objects in profiles has a UserName that is an empty string ("") or contains a comma.

Remarks

The DeleteProfiles method deletes all profile information and properties for the specified profiles from the data source for the application specified by the ApplicationName property. The list of profiles to delete is specified using a ProfileInfoCollection that is passed as the profiles parameter. A ProfileInfoCollection can be returned from the GetAllProfiles, GetAllInactiveProfiles, FindProfilesByUserName, and FindInactiveProfilesByUserName methods.

Note that the return value may differ from the Count value for the supplied ProfileInfoCollection. This indicates that some of the profiles in the specified ProfileInfoCollection were already deleted from the data store.

The DeleteProfiles method calls the ProfileProvider.DeleteProfiles method of the default profile provider. The default profile provider is specified using the defaultProvider attribute of the profile configuration element. If the user profile contains properties that are managed by a profile provider other than the default provider, they are not deleted. To delete profile properties that are managed by a profile provider other than the default provider, obtain a reference to the profile provider using the Providers property and call the DeleteProfiles method of the provider directly.
