Package: Trash vs DeletePackage

Monday, October 5, 2015 at 10:36am

I'm using the SDK to create a package that contains one document to be signed. I want to offer my customer the ability to 'Cancel' a package. Should I use the 'Trash' or the 'Delete Package' method? What are the differences?

I would guess that trash would put the package in your trash folder and delete would delete it permanently. I'll take a closer look though. If that's indeed the case, which would you rather have? The ability to see canceled packages or have them completely gone?

I did some testing and this is exactly it. The 'Trash()' method will send the package to the Trash, meaning this package can be restored. The 'DeletePackage' deletes the package, no restore possible. I will offer both options to my customer. Thanks

Hey, so which class did you find the DeletePackage method on? I'm looking for a way to delete packages permanently on the SDK and I haven't found anything.

I used the 'DeletePackage' method found in the 'PackageService' class. Code sample in C#: client.PackageService.DeletePackage(id); Hope this help
