How delete a record from list by using a jQuery

Question

I find aut a this article about to easy and fast delete a records from list: http://spservices.codeplex.com/discussions/245147 How could I use it ? Can I use it on cs files, if yes so how can I use it ? Where should it be written ?

Answer 1

I don't know about SPServices, but here is the method I am using to delete a record from a list.

function DeleteRecordFromList(listName,recordId){
  $.ajax({
    url: '/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/'+listName+'('+recordId+')',
    type: "DELETE",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    success: function () {
        alert("Record has been deleted");
    },

    error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
        alert(xhr.status + " " + thrownError);
    }
  });
}

Be careful, the list name is case sensitive! If you want to do it from C#, you have instantiate an HttpRequest and call the same url as in the ajax call above. But if you are already in C#, why not just use the Object Model? Why to use jQuery? More about listdata.svc: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff798339.aspx

I hope it helped!

I am not repeating the steps for jQuery as it's already described by @Norbert, but you can have a look at this post for C# way
