Entity Framework 4.1: How do I delete by object Id

问题

I would like to know how to delete an object from Entity Framework 4.1 without first having to load the object from the database. I have found these other 2 answers on Stack Overflow, but they do not pertain to EF 4.1

I have tried the following code but it does not work

public void DeleteCar(int carId)
{
  var car = new Car() { Id = carId };
  _dbContext.Cars.Attach(car);
  _dbContext.Cars.Remove(car);
  _dbContext.SaveChanges();
}

I want to avoid the code below.

public void DeleteCar(int carId)
{
  var car = context.Cars.Find(carId);
  _dbContext.Cars.Remove(car);
  _dbContext.SaveChanges();
}

And I do not want to call a stored procedure or execute raw sql.

回答1:

I use the following for my deletes, works great.

public virtual ActionResult Delete(int commentID)
{
    var c = new Comment(){CommentID = commentID};
    db.Entry(c).State= EntityState.Deleted;
    db.SaveChanges();
    return RedirectToAction(MVC.Blog.AdminComment.Index());
}

Just to convince you that your first code snippet must work here is a simple example you can copy, paste and test:

Create a new console application project (.NET 4)
Add reference to EntityFramework.dll (EF 4.1)
Delete the content of Program.cs and paste in the following:

using System.Data.Entity;

namespace EFDeleteTest
{
    public class Car
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

    public class MyContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<Car> Cars { get; set; }
    }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Database with name "EFDeleteTest.MyContext"
            // will be created automatically in SQL Server Express

            int carId = 0;
            using (var context = new MyContext())
            {
                var car = new Car { Name = "Test" };
                context.Cars.Add(car);
                context.SaveChanges();

                carId = car.Id;
            }
            //Make breakpoint here and check that the car is indeed in the DB

            using (var context = new MyContext())
            {
                var car = new Car() { Id = carId };
                context.Cars.Attach(car);
                context.Cars.Remove(car);
                context.SaveChanges();
            }
            //Make breakpoint here and check that the car
            //indeed has been deleted from DB
        }
    }
}

If you have a SQL Server Express DB it will automatically create the DB.

Perhaps this might help you to compare with your code because it looks as if something not visible in your code fragments is causing the different behaviour you describe.

use stub entities:

public void DeleteCar(int carId)
{
  var car = new Car() { Id = carId };
  _dbContext.AttachTo("Cars",car); 
  _dbContext.DeleteObject(car); 
  _dbContext.SaveChanges();
}

The following code works well for me:

var c = db.Set<T>().Find(id);
db.Entry(c).State = EntityState.Deleted;
db.SaveChanges();

If this object wasn't tracked previously by the DbContext then it would hit the database, otherwise it would find it in memory.
