Remarks
This method will never delete data if the execution context is lost. Then use the overloaded method with forceToDelete set to true.
Examples
This example deletes a user defined RAPID data instance provided the execution context is not lost. If the execution context is lost an exception is thrown and it is up to the programmer to decide how to proceed. A message box can be shown for example, explaining the situation to the user. If the user still want to delete, use the overloaded DeleteRapidData method with the forceToDelete argument set to true.
