IRecordUndeclarationHandler Interface

Provides an interface for custom processing of undeclaring a list item as record.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.RecordsRepository
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Policy (in Microsoft.Office.Policy.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
Public Interface IRecordUndeclarationHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As IRecordUndeclarationHandler

[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
public interface IRecordUndeclarationHandler

Remarks

When a list item is undeclared as record, custom processing handler can be added by implementing the OnUndeclare method in the IRecordUndeclarationHandler interface. After the handler has processed the list item (SPListItem), it can choose what happens when it returns CustomHandlerNotRun from the RecordOperationResult enumeration, or proceed with default processing by returning the corresponding RecordOperationResult value.

The following code examples demonstrate how to register a custom record handler and create a custom declaration filter that manages record declaration and undeclaration.
