This is probably a real newbie question, but what the hey.

I want to delete an entity, but it's joined to other entities via foreign key. What I'd like to do is for the entity to also delete it's related entities. Is this possible?

Thanks for any help you can give.

You've to delete the entities in the right order, there is no cascading/recursive delete implemented, because deletes are irreversable, and should be done with care.

The current UnitOfWork objects don't sort entities to delete correctly, in 1.0.2004.2 (now in beta) this will be fixed soon.

Or (at least in SQLServer) you can set cascading deletes in the db. But that also should be used with care.

Thanks for your help chaps.

It'd be useful to have some kind of facility to load all the fk's and do a delete all the way down the chain, albeit dangerous.
