Delete item from Client Object Model

Question

I'm trying to delete an Item from a list using the following code:

using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
using SP = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

namespace Microsoft.SDK.SharePointServices.Samples
{
class DeleteListItem
{
    static void Main()
    {   
        string siteUrl = "http://MyServer/sites/MySiteCollection";

        ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
        SP.List oList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Announcements");
        ListItem oListItem = oList.GetItemById(2);

        oListItem.DeleteObject();

        clientContext.ExecuteQuery(); 
    }
}

}

for any item Id I try to delete, I always get the same message :

Item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

With the same code trying to add or get a item I can access to. — hello B

Your code works perfectly for me. There must be a simple mismatch some place. — Robert Kaucher

Just something I noticed: Why have you declared Microsoft.SharePoint.Client twice in the usings section? — Vardhaman Deshpande

Try something like:

string siteUrl = "http://MyServer/sites/MySiteCollection";

ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
SP.List oList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Announcements");

clientContext.Load(oList);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery()

ListItem oListItem = oList.GetItemById(2);

clientContext.Load(oListItem);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

oListItem.DeleteObject();

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

This worked for me...

Even if the question and answer are old... there is no need to load list and item before the delete, the code in the question is correct.

The important thing is to NOT call Load in the same "ExecuteQuery-Cycle" as you call DeleteObject (or Recycle). You have to split the operation in two and call ExecuteQuery twice:

var item = customList.GetItemById(24);
ctx.Load(item);
ctx.ExecuteQuery(); //Perform Webservice Call to Get Item

item.Recycle();
ctx.ExecuteQuery(); //Perform Webservice Call to Delete Item
