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

If you dont want to query for it just create an entity, and then delete it.

Customer customer  = new Customer() {  Id = 1   } ; 
context.AttachTo("Customers", customer);
context.DeleteObject(customer);
context.Savechanges();
