Entity Framework 4 ste delete foreign key relationship

Question

I'm using EF4 and STE w/ Silverlight.

I'm having trouble deleting child records from my primary entity. For some reason I can remove child entities if their foreign key to my primary entity is part of their Primary Key.

But if it's not, they don't get removed.

I believe these posts explains it: http://mocella.blogspot.com/2010/01/entity-framework-v4-object-graph.html

My question is how how do I remove a child record who's foreign key is not part of its primary key in Silverlight where I don't have access to a DeleteObject() function?

Answer 1

This is what I was trying to do:

PrimaryEntity.Children.Remove(itemToDelete);

But what I had to do to make it work was:

itemToDelete.MarkAsDeleted();
