System.Web.Profile.ProfileProvider.DeleteInactiveProfiles Method

When overridden in a derived class, deletes all user-profile data for profiles in which the last activity date occurred before the specified date.

Syntax

public abstract int DeleteInactiveProfiles (ProfileAuthenticationOption authenticationOption, DateTime userInactiveSinceDate)

Parameters

authenticationOption
One of the System.Web.Profile.ProfileAuthenticationOption values, specifying whether anonymous, authenticated, or both types of profiles are deleted.
userInactiveSinceDate
A DateTime that identifies which user profiles are considered inactive. If the ProfileInfo.LastActivityDate value of a user profile occurs on or before this date and time, the profile is considered inactive.

Returns

The number of profiles deleted from the data source.

Remarks

The ProfileProvider.DeleteInactiveProfiles(ProfileAuthenticationOption, DateTime) method is used to remove unused profile data from the data source. Only data for the applicationName specified in the configuration file is removed. The authenticationOption parameter specifies whether only anonymous profiles, only authenticated profiles, or all profiles are searched. Profiles in which the ProfileInfo.LastActivityDate occurs on or before the specified userInactiveSinceDate parameter value are deleted.
