    <p>Ok i have an mvc app. and im trying to get my delete to work. Basically i want it so when i click delete it takes me to a page saying "are you sure?" i have that working, the problem is catching the request and actually doing the delete. i tried diffrent methods. as below.</p> <pre><code> public ActionResult Delete(int id) { var something = friendsDB.Friends.Single(a =&gt; a.Id == id); return View(something); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Delete(int id, string confirmButton) { var something = friendsDB.Friends.Single(a =&gt; a.Id == id); // For simplicity, we're allowing deleting of albums // with existing orders We've set up OnDelete = Cascade // on the Album-&gt;OrderDetails and Album-&gt;Carts relationships friendsDB.DeleteObject(something); friendsDB.SaveChanges(); return View("Index"); } </code></pre> <p>That doesnt work cause, deleteobject and savechanges claim </p> <blockquote> <p>"C:\Users\Mtszc\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Test\Test\Content\Controllers\DownloadsController.cs(36,23): error CS1061: 'Test.Models.FriendsDB' does not contain a definition for 'DeleteObject' and no extension method 'DeleteObject' accepting a first argument of type 'Test.Models.FriendsDB' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"</p> </blockquote> <p>the second thing i tried was </p> <pre><code>public ActionResult Delete(int id) { var something = friendsDB.Friends.Single(a =&gt; a.Id == id); return View(something); } [HttpDelete] public ActionResult Delete(Friend myFriend) { try { friendsDB.Friends.DeleteOnSubmit(myFriend); friendsDB.SubmitChanges(); return RedirectToAction("Index"); } catch { return View(); } } </code></pre> <p>that didnt work. it compiled but when i click delete, and it takes me to the page where i say im sure i want to delete, it returns view, which was the catch, meaning the try failed.</p> <p>this is a simple sql database i made, Id, name, link. and im using linq to sql class. i c can create and view, but not delete.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
