bindingsObj.releaseByIdAsync(id [, options], callback);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
id	string	Specifies the unique name of the binding to remove. Required.
options	object	Specifies any of the following optional parameters
asyncContext	array, boolean, null, number, object, string, or undefined	A user-defined item of any type that is returned in the AsyncResult object without being altered.
callback	object	A function that is invoked when the callback returns, whose only parameter is of type AsyncResult.

Callback Value

When the function you passed to the callback parameter executes, it receives an AsyncResult object that you can access from the callback function's only parameter.

In the callback function passed to the releaseByIdAsync method, you can use the properties of the AsyncResult object to return the following information.

Property	Use to...
AsyncResult.value	Always returns undefined because there is no data or object to retrieve.
AsyncResult.status	Determine the success or failure of the operation.
AsyncResult.error	Access an Error object that provides error information if the operation failed.
AsyncResult.asyncContext	Access your user-defined object or value, if you passed one as the asyncContext parameter.

Remarks

Fails if the specified id does not exist.

Example

Office.context.document.bindings.releaseByIdAsync("MyBinding", function (asyncResult) { 
    write("Released MyBinding!"); 
}); 
// Function that writes to a div with id='message' on the page. 
function write(message){ 
    document.getElementById('message').innerText += message;  
}
