Examples

The following code example shows a sample implementation of the DeleteRole method.

public override bool DeleteRole(string rolename, bool throwOnPopulatedRole)
{
  if (!RoleExists(rolename))
  {
    throw new ProviderException("Role does not exist.");
  }

  if (throwOnPopulatedRole && GetUsersInRole(rolename).Length > 0)
  {
    throw new ProviderException("Cannot delete a populated role.");
  }

  OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(connectionString);
  OdbcCommand cmd = new OdbcCommand("DELETE FROM Roles "  +
                                    " WHERE Rolename = ? AND ApplicationName = ?", conn);

  cmd.Parameters.Add("@Rolename", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = rolename;
  cmd.Parameters.Add("@ApplicationName", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = ApplicationName;

  OdbcCommand cmd2 = new OdbcCommand("DELETE FROM UsersInRoles "  +
                                     " WHERE Rolename = ? AND ApplicationName = ?", conn);

  cmd2.Parameters.Add("@Rolename", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = rolename;
  cmd2.Parameters.Add("@ApplicationName", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = ApplicationName;

  try
  {
    conn.Open();

    cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
  }
  catch (OdbcException)
  {
    // Handle exception.

    return false;
  }
  finally
  {
    conn.Close();      
  }

  return true;
}

Public Overrides Function DeleteRole(ByVal rolename As String, ByVal throwOnPopulatedRole As Boolean) As Boolean
    If Not RoleExists(rolename) Then
        Throw New ProviderException("Role does not exist.")
    End If

    If throwOnPopulatedRole AndAlso GetUsersInRole(rolename).Length > 0 Then
        Throw New ProviderException("Cannot delete a populated role.")
    End If

    Dim conn As OdbcConnection = New OdbcConnection(connectionString)
    Dim cmd As OdbcCommand = New OdbcCommand("DELETE FROM Roles " & _
                                             " WHERE Rolename = ? AND ApplicationName = ?", conn)

    cmd.Parameters.Add("@Rolename", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = rolename
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@ApplicationName", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = ApplicationName

    Dim cmd2 As OdbcCommand = New OdbcCommand("DELETE FROM UsersInRoles " & _
                                              " WHERE Rolename = ? AND ApplicationName = ?", conn)

    cmd2.Parameters.Add("@Rolename", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = rolename
    cmd2.Parameters.Add("@ApplicationName", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = ApplicationName

    Try
        conn.Open()

        cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery()
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
    Catch e As OdbcException
        ' Handle exception.

        Return False
    Finally
        conn.Close()
    End Try

    Return True

Remarks

DeleteRole is called by the DeleteRole and the DeleteRole methods of the Roles class to delete the specified role from the data source for the configured ApplicationName.

When you delete a role from the data source, ensure that you also delete any associations between a user name and the deleted role for the configured applicationName.

If throwOnPopulatedRole is true, and the role identified by the roleName parameter has one or more members, throw a ProviderException and do not delete the role. If throwOnPopulatedRole is false, then delete the role whether it is empty or not.

If the specified role name does not exist, is null, or is an empty string, we recommend that your provider throw an exception.
