load file list using .net (Directory.GetFiles), iterate through list, delete each file in loop.

Hi ramesh,

Maybe next code will help you ;

Variables

DNObj DotNet System.Object.'mscorlib

DNFolder DotNet System.IO.Directory.'mscorlib

DNLst DotNet System.Collections.Generic.List`1.'mscorlib

DNFile DotNet System.IO.File.'mscorlib

DNPath DotNet System.IO.Path.'mscorlib

i Integer

Code

DNObj := DNFolder.GetFiles('Source folder','*.yourextension');

DNLst := DNLst.List;

DNLst.AddRange(DNObj);

FOR i := 0 TO DNLst.Count - 1 DO BEGIN

//IN THIS CASE I MOVE THE FILES BUT YOU CAN DELETE

DNFile.Move(DNLst.Item(i),'Destination folder'+'\'+DNPath.GetFileName(DNLst.Item(i)));

END;

Best Regards,

Carlos.

You have to do something like this where RecFile is of type Record 2000000022

recFile.RESET;

recFile.SETRANGE(Path,FolderPath);

recFile.SETRANGE("Is a file",TRUE);

IF recFile.FINDSET THEN

REPEAT

FILE.ERASE(FolderPath + recFile.Name);

UNTIL recFile.NEXT = 0;

You need to go through each file and then delete it or else you need to use .net variable to do it for you.

Check this one : www.csharp-examples.net/delete-all-files

You can create a DLL with the code in that previous article and then add it to Dynamics NAV. Then call the DLL and pass the folder path. This will sort your problem.
