SUMMARY
This article describes how to use Microsoft XML 3.0 or Microsoft XML 4.0 to delete folders from a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server computer or a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) computer by using Microsoft Visual C#.



MORE INFORMATION
 Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project. Under Project Types, click Visual C# Projects.

Note In Visual Studio 2005, click Visual C#. Under Templates, select Console Application, and then click OK. By default, Class1.cs is created in Visual Studio .NET. Program.cs is created in Visual Studio 2005. Add a reference to the XML 3.0 component or to the XML 4.0 component. To do this, follow these steps:  On the Project menu, click Add Reference. On the COM tab, click Microsoft XML, v3.0 or Microsoft XML, v4.0, and then click Select.

If you receive a prompt to generate wrappers for the libraries that you selected, click Yes.</li></ol> </li>  In the code window, replace all the code with: using System; using System.Reflection;

namespace WebDav {   class Class1 {          public static void Main(String [] args) {           try {                      MSXML2.XMLHTTP30 oXMLHttp = new MSXML2.XMLHTTP30; // TODO: Replace the URL with your Exchange 2000 Server folder or IIS server folder URL. String sUrl = &quot;http://Server/VirtualDirectory/MyFolder&quot;; oXMLHttp.open(&quot;DELETE&quot;, sUrl, false,&quot;UserDomain\UserAlias&quot;, &quot;UserPassword&quot;);

String sXml = &quot;&quot;; oXMLHttp.setRequestHeader(&quot;Content-Type&quot;, &quot;text/xml&quot;); oXMLHttp.setRequestHeader(&quot;Content-Length&quot;, &quot;&quot; + sXml.Length); oXMLHttp.send(Missing.Value);

Console.WriteLine(oXMLHttp.responseText); Console.WriteLine(oXMLHttp.status); Console.WriteLine(oXMLHttp.statusText); }           catch (Exception e)            { Console.WriteLine(&quot;{0} Exception caught.&quot;, e); }

}        } } </li> Modify the code where you see the &quot;TODO&quot; comments.</li> Press F5 to build and to run the program.</li> Verify that the specified folder specified was deleted.</li></ol>
