Remarks
Rules of this type are triggered when an element is about to be deleted from the store.
Before defining a Delete Rule, consider whether you can achieve the same effect using the features available in the DSL Definition. For more information, see Customizing Deletion Behavior
A RuleOnAttribute attribute placed on the class indicates what type of object the rule works on and when the rule should fire.
The rule is called when the object of the specified type is about to be deleted from the model, whether it is deleted in the UI or programmatically.
A DeletingRule is always executed before a DeleteRuledefined on the same object. Typically, all the deleting rules generated by a transaction are executed, and then all the deleted rules.
For more information and examples, see Rules Propagate Changes Within the Model.
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
