Remove Entity Framework Submit it all!
entity-framework
Question
In LINQ to SQL, I could do:
context.User_Roles.DeleteAllOnSubmit(context.User_Roles.Where(ur => ur.UserId == user.UserId));
Whats the equivalent to this for entity framework?
Accepted Answer
@Femaref has the right idea, but for a true analog to L2E's DeleteAllOnSubmit, you'll want your extension method to make a copy of the entities being deleted before enumerating so that you don't get "collection modified while enumerating" exceptions.
public static void DeleteAllObjects<TEntity>(this ObjectSet<TEntity> set, IEnumerable<TEntity> data) where TEntity : class {
foreach(var entity in data.ToList()) //data.ToList() makes a copy of data for safe enumeration
set.DeleteObject(entity);
}

foreach(var entity in context.User_Roles.Where(ur => ur.UserId == user.UserId))
{
context.User_Roles.DeleteObject(entity);
}
context.SaveChanges();
Of course, you can write an extension method, which would encapsulate this.
This would be something like this:
public static void DeleteObjects<TEntity> (this ObjectSet<TEntity> set, IEnumerable<TEntity> data) where TEntity : class
{
foreach(var entity in data)
set.DeleteObject(entity);
}
Called like:
context.User_Roles.DeleteObjects(context.User_Roles.Where(ur => ur.UserId == user.UserId))
context.SaveChanges();
