ChangeTracker.CascadeChanges Method

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.ChangeTracking

Assembly:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.dll

Package:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore v8.0.0

Forces immediate cascading deletion of child/dependent entities when they are either severed from a required parent/principal entity, or the required parent/principal entity is itself deleted. See DeleteBehavior.

public virtual void CascadeChanges ();

abstract member CascadeChanges : unit -> unit
override this.CascadeChanges : unit -> unit

Public Overridable Sub CascadeChanges ()

Remarks

This method is usually used when CascadeDeleteTiming and/or DeleteOrphansTiming have been set to Never to manually force the deletes to have at a time controlled by the application.

This method calls DetectChanges() to ensure the returned value is accurate. Since detecting changes can be slow, consider temporarily setting AutoDetectChangesEnabled to prevent detecting changes in situations where the state is known to be up-to-date.

See EF Core change tracking for more information and examples.
