Entity Framework Extensions PreBulkDelete

The PreBulkDelete event is raised as soon as the BulkDelete method is called and no configuration or anything else is done before. It allows you to set some global configuration for BulkDelete.

The following example deletes softly the list of customers by updating the IsDeleted to true and clear the list.

EntityFrameworkManager.PreBulkDelete = (ctx, obj) => 
{
    var list = obj as IEnumerable<Customer>;

    foreach (var customer in list)
    {
        customer.IsDeleted = true;
    }

    ctx.BulkUpdate(list);

    ((List<Customer>)obj).Clear();
};
