This is a function i have used to delete all layers that i hv created using function createLayer() --->
private void eraseLayers()
{
Database db = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase;
Editor editor = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;

try
{
using (Transaction tran = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{
LayerTable layerTable = (LayerTable)tran.GetObject(db.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForWrite);

SymbolTableEnumerator sysTabEnum = layerTable.GetEnumerator();

while (sysTabEnum.MoveNext() == true)
{
ObjectId objEntr = (ObjectId)sysTabEnum.Current;
LayerTableRecord ltr = (LayerTableRecord)tran.GetObject(objEntr, OpenMode.ForWrite);
editor.WriteMessage(" Layer Name: "+ltr.Name);
ltr.Erase();
}
tran.Commit();
}
}
catch (System.Exception e)
{
editor.WriteMessage("Error in iterateLayers :: " + e.Message);
}
}

No need to enumerate the table as you can just
check the layertable.Has() method. See

the tags use here to post so we can read you
code...

size=2><code>
[code]
{code}

      using (Transaction tr =


db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())

{
        LayerTable layerTable
=

(LayerTable)tr.GetObject(db.LayerTableId,
OpenMode.ForRead);
        //drawing may
have objects that use this
layer...
        if
((layerTable.Has(layername) &&

          layerTable[layername]
!= db.Clayer))

{
          LayerTableRecord ltr
=

(LayerTableRecord)

tr.GetObject(layerTable["foo"],
OpenMode.ForRead);


          if (ltr !=
null)

{

ltr.UpgradeOpen();

ltr.Erase();

tr.Commit();

}

}

}
{code}

I'm just curious, I notice you checked
for current layer but what if the layer is not empty, frozen or
locked?

Locked or frozen won't matter... Obviously you
cannot delete a layer that entities are using.

Where did you get the idea that you can't purge a
