Deleting a table using the AWS SDK for .Net

Now, let's understand how to delete a DynamoDB table using the AWS SDK for .Net.

Getting ready

You can use the IDE of your choice to code these recipes.

How to do it…

In this recipe, we will learn how to delete the table that we created earlier using the AWS SDK for .Net:

1. Create a delete table request specifying the name of the table to be deleted:

   string tableName = "productTableNet";
   var request = new DeleteTableRequest
               {
                   TableName = tableName
               };

2. Invoke the DeleteTable method to delete the table:

      var response = client.DeleteTable(request);

3. Like create and update, delete also takes some time before the changes are effective.
