<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>The <code>Delete</code> method deletes an event (entry) from
the event log database. </p>
<p>This method can be called both synchronously and asynchronously.</p>
<p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
<p>For synchronous calls:</p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-272D8E40-83BF-4C46-9CDF-E385832FF8A2">result = so.IDataSource.Delete(criteria);</pre>
<p>For asynchronous calls:</p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-2C3A0D6F-B710-4747-B530-D03852585034">result = so.IDataSource.Delete(criteria, callback);</pre>
<p><strong>Arguments:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>criteria</code>:</p>
<p>This is an object that specifies which event to delete from the log
event database. For more information about the object properties and how to
define them, see section <a href="GUID-59A3DC52-36FB-4A05-8D37-0305AE4B80D0.html#GUID-59A3DC52-36FB-4A05-8D37-0305AE4B80D0">Criteria for deleting an event</a>.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>callback</code>:</p>
<p>The <code>callback</code> argument is the name of the method
that is executed when an asynchronous <code>Delete</code> call has
results or status information to return. You must define this method separately.
Follow the instructions in section <a href="GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608.html#GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608">Defining the callback handler for an asynchronous method</a> to
define the <code>callback</code> method.</p>
<p>This argument is used only with an asynchronous <code>Delete</code> call.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Return value:</strong></p>
<p>If synchronous, the <code>Delete</code> method returns an error
code and an error message.</p>
