Remove property

The following example shows you how to remove properties, and how to set and remove properties in one atomic request.

C# example

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Independentsoft.Webdav;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

            using (WebdavClient client = new WebdavClient(credential))
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://myserver/dav/");

                PropertyName author = new PropertyName("author", "http://example.com/ns");
                PropertyName reviewer = new PropertyName("reviewer", "http://example.com/ns");

                await client.SetProperty("documents/report.pdf", new Property(author, "John Smith"));
                await client.RemoveProperty("documents/report.pdf", author);

                // Set one property and remove another in one request.
                await client.ChangeProperties("documents/report.pdf",
                    new[] { new Property(reviewer, "Mary Jones") },
                    new[] { author });

                Console.WriteLine("Author removed: " + (await client.GetProperty("documents/report.pdf", author) == null));
            }
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Threading.Tasks
Imports Independentsoft.Webdav

Namespace Sample
    Module Program
        Sub Main(args As String())
            RunAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult()
        End Sub

        Private Async Function RunAsync() As Task
            Dim credential As New NetworkCredential("username", "password")

            Using client As New WebdavClient(credential)
                client.BaseAddress = New Uri("https://myserver/dav/")

                Dim author As New PropertyName("author", "http://example.com/ns")
                Dim reviewer As New PropertyName("reviewer", "http://example.com/ns")

                Await client.SetProperty("documents/report.pdf", New [Property](author, "John Smith"))
                Await client.RemoveProperty("documents/report.pdf", author)

                ' Set one property and remove another in one request.
                Await client.ChangeProperties("documents/report.pdf",
                    {New [Property](reviewer, "Mary Jones")},
                    {author})

                Console.WriteLine("Author removed: " & (Await client.GetProperty("documents/report.pdf", author) Is Nothing))
            End Using
        End Function
    End Module
End Namespace
