Manage an Object's Lifecycle Using the AWS SDK for .NET

You can use the AWS SDK for .NET to manage the lifecycle configuration on a bucket. For more information about managing lifecycle configuration, see Object Lifecycle Management.

Note
When you add a lifecycle configuration, Amazon S3 replaces the existing lifecycle configuration on the specified bucket. To update a configuration, you must first retrieve the lifecycle configuration, make the changes, and then add the revised lifecycle configuration to the bucket.

Example .NET Code Example
The following example shows how to use the AWS SDK for .NET to add, update, and delete a bucket's lifecycle configuration. The code example does the following:

Adds a lifecycle configuration to a bucket.
Retrieves the lifecycle configuration and updates it by adding another rule.
Adds the modified lifecycle configuration to the bucket. Amazon S3 replaces the existing lifecycle configuration.
Retrieves the configuration again and verifies it by printing the number of rules in the configuration.
Deletes the lifecycle configuration.and verifies the deletion For instructions on how to create and test a working sample, see Running the Amazon S3 .NET Code Examples.
