Examples

The following code example shows a locally defined DeleteWebPart method that takes a GUID of a Web Part as an argument and deletes the Web Part from a Web Part Page by calling the DeleteWebPart method of the Web Part Pages service through a proxy. This code example and the proxy are part of a larger example provided for the Web Part Pages service.

Private Sub DeleteWebPart(guidVal As String)
    ' NOTE: The Web Service we are using is defined on MyServer/_vti_bin
    ' Declare and initialize a variable for the WebPartPages Web Service.
    Dim svc = New Microsoft.Samples.WebPartPagesSvcClient.WebpartpagesSvc.WebPartPagesWebService()
         
    ' Authenticate the current user by passing their default
    ' credentials to the Web Service from the system credential cache.
    svc.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
        
    Dim pageUrl As String = "http://MyServer/Shared%20Documents/SampleStart.aspx"
    ' The GUID represents the Web Part ID being deleted
    Dim storageKey As New Guid(guidVal)
    Try
        svc.DeleteWebPart(pageUrl, storageKey, WebpartpagesSvc.Storage.Shared)
            Console.WriteLine("Part [{0}] has been deleted from page [{1}]" + ControlChars.Lf, guidVal, pageUrl)
        Catch er As Exception
            Console.WriteLine("Error: Part [{0}] was not deleted." + ControlChars.Lf + " {1}", guidVal, er.Message)
    End Try
End Sub 'DeleteWebPart
private void DeleteWebPart (string guidVal)
{
    // NOTE: The Web Service we are using is defined on MyServer/_vti_bin.

    // Declare and initialize a variable for the WebPartPages Web Service.
    WebpartpagesSvc.WebPartPagesWebService svc = new Microsoft.Samples.WebPartPagesSvcClient.WebpartpagesSvc.WebPartPagesWebService();
    // Authenticate the current user by passing their default
    // credentials to the Web Service from the system credential cache.
    svc.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
    string pageUrl = "http://MyServer/Shared%20Documents/SampleStart.aspx";

    // The GUID represents the Web Part ID being deleted.
    Guid storageKey = new Guid(guidVal);  
    try 
    {
        svc.DeleteWebPart(pageUrl, storageKey, WebpartpagesSvc.Storage.Shared);
        Console.WriteLine("Part [{0}] has been deleted from page [{1}]\n", guidVal, pageUrl);
    }
    catch(Exception er)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Error: Part [{0}] was not deleted.\n {1}", guidVal, er.Message);
