Parameters

m_package: Type: SystemString
The package to remove from the device. If this parameter is set to null (Visual Basic: Nothing) then this method will throw an ArgumentNullException. If this parameter is does not match a package pattern (e.g.: com.myapp.application) then this method will throw an ArgumentException. Be sure to use try-catch blocks for this method, as this method expects to be terminated after an exception occurs.
m_keepData (Optional): Type: SystemBoolean
If set to true, the application's data will not be touched. Instead it will be kept on the device. This parameter is set to false by default.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The method will throw this exception if the m_package parameter is set to null (Visual Basic: Nothing), is empty or plain whitespace. In those cases, the exception is thrown. It is recommended that you use a try-catch block for this method, as it expects to be terminated after an exception has occurred.
ArgumentException	The method will throw this exception if the m_package parameter does not match the pattern for application packages. (e.g.: com.myapp.application). The case does not matter, this method uses case-insensitive regular expressions. It is recommended you use a try-catch block for this method, as it expects to be terminated after an exception has occurred.
