Hi Ratndeep,
You should really take a look at the [Depend] attributte. See the docs here.
Basically, you apply it to the child list in your parent like:
public class Order
{
[OpenAccess.Depend]
private IList<OrderLine> orderLines = new List<OrderLine>();
}
This will make OA delete the "dependent" objects when the an instance of the Order class is deleted. It works as a "cascading delete" in sql.
Hope this suits your needs..
Update:
Another way to do it if this is a 1:m relationship is to use DeleleOrphans... See the docs here.
Regards
Henrik

Thanks Henrik for replying.
Before posting my query on forum i had looked for it and come to know about cascading delete but was not sure that this is the clean way to do.

Hi Ratndeep,
So you solved the problem?
Anyway, the main difference between Depend and Delete Orphans is that the delete orphans is placed on the child and is only deleted when there are no more references to the instance (checked by OA).. Depend doesn't really check this: It just deletes the childs without checking.
