Step 6: Deleting Records

The last step is to add the code to the Delete button's click event to delete a record.

1.    Switch back to Design view and double click on the Delete button to generate the click event handler.

2.    Add the following code.

if (ddlUsers.SelectedItem.Value != "")            
{
  using (OrderDBContainer db = new OrderDBContainer())    
  {
    UserAccount userAccount = new UserAccount();
    userAccount.Id = Convert.ToInt32(ddlUsers.SelectedValue);
    db.UserAccounts.Attach(userAccount);
    db.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(userAccount, System.Data.EntityState.Deleted);
    db.SaveChanges();
 
    LoadUserDropDownList();
    txtFirstName.Text = "";
    txtLastName.Text = "";
    lblInserted.Text = "";
    lblUpdated.Text = "";
  }
}

This code creates an instance of a UserAccount object and sets its Id property to the value selected in the drop down list.  To delete a record you still need to attach it to the OrderDBContainer and tell the ObjectStateManager what to do with the object when the SaveChanges method is called.  Once the record is deleted the drop down list is reloaded so the user is removed and the textboxes and labels are cleared.

I can´t use the lines the code below to update the entity:

db.UserAccounts.Attach(userAccount);
db.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(userAccount, System.Data.EntityState.Modified);

on the first line I get the message: Attach is not a member of System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery(Of...)

What´s wrong ?

I'd love to see an article this straightforward and approachable in an n-tier tutorial? The EF seems very simple until you try and separate concerns. What if I'd like to store all of my business logic and data access in a separate class library project?

This is a very nice article. Its seems like a cake walk creating applications using VS2010. Hope we get to work on VS 2010 very soon.
