using System.Linq;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        using (var context = new MyDbContext())
        {
            var employee = context.Employees.FirstOrDefault(e => e.Name == "John Doe");
            if (employee != null)
            {
                context.Employees.Remove(employee);
                context.SaveChanges();

                Console.WriteLine("Record deleted successfully.");
            }
        }
    }
}

Explanation: This example retrieves a specific employee record and removes it using the Remove() method followed by SaveChanges().

Key Takeaways

  • Use the Remove() method on the DbSet to delete an entity.
  • Call SaveChanges() to persist the deletion to the database.
