How to delete an object by id with entity framework

Question

It seems to me that I have to retrieve an object before I delete it with entity framework like below

var customer = context.Customers.First(c => c.Id == 1         


        

Answer 1

In Entity Framework 6 the delete action is Remove. Here is an example

Customer customer = new Customer () { Id = id };
context.Customers.Attach(customer);
context.Customers.Remove(customer);
context.SaveChanges();
