delete file created on server

 as per  http://tinyurl.com/mqspaf,

I need to delete, from Page.xaml.cs, the csv file just created.

I have many Silverlight projects/Reports/Pages which will each write a csv file to the same File Directory.

1. The current client code cannot determine which file to fetch from the "FileDir" directory on the server.
2. Until I figure out a better way to handle multiple requests from various Pages to save csv files into the same directory, I think deleting the one just created sounds like the easiest approach.

I dont think it is a good idea to save the csv on the server it changes.  I would write the csv to the response.outputstream on an aspx page

When you generate the file on server , you can save a tag on client side , and when you want to delete please send this tag as a request parameter , then server can understand which file to delete ,Does this you want.

Thanks Ken. I like the idea of sending the file straight away instead of saving to server with associated problems that arise. (ie. deleting)

Do I

1.  utilize an existing aspx page in the silverlight web project or

2. create a new one or

3. utilize the same .aspx page that hosts the .xap file itself.

Sorry for my need for a little more clarity. 

Thanks,

Thank you for the idea.  How do I save a tag of the file on the client if it was created on the server?
