public void DeleteResources(
    Guid[] arrayRes,
    string deletionComment
)

Parameters

arrayRes
Type: []
Guids of the resources to delete.

deletionComment
Type: System.String
A brief note describing the deletion. This comment is sent to any affected project manager when a resource in their project changes from an enterprise resource to a local resource.

Remarks

The resource must be checked out before it can be deleted.

A resource may not be deleted if the resource:

Has anything checked out
Is the current user
Owns a project
Is a timesheet manager
Owns an assignment
Is the default assignment owner
Is used in a resource plan

Project Server Permissions

Permission	Description
CleanupProjectServerDatabase	Allows a user to delete information from the database. Global permission.

Examples

The following example creates several resources, retrieving them if they already exist, reports them, and then deletes them.
