I have a one-to-many relationship between my table Case and my other table CaseReplies. I'm using EF Code First and now wants to delete a CaseReply from a Case object, however it seems impossible to do such thing because it just tries to remove the CaseId from the specific CaseReply record and not the record itself..

short: Case just removes the relationship between itself and the CaseReply.. it does not delete the CaseReply.

My code:

// Case.cs (Case Object)

public class Case
{
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Topic { get; set; }

    public string Message { get; set; }

    public DateTime Date { get; set; }

    public Guid UserId { get; set; }

    public virtual User User { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<CaseReply> Replies { get; set; }
}

// CaseReply.cs (CaseReply Object)

public class CaseReply
{
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Message { get; set; }

    public DateTime Date { get; set; }

    public int CaseId { get; set; }

    public Guid UserId { get; set; }

    public virtual User User { get; set; }

    public virtual Case Case { get; set; }
}

// RepositoryBase.cs

public class RepositoryBase<T> : IRepository<T> where T : class
{
    public IDbContext Context { get; private set; }
    public IDbSet<T> ObjectSet { get; private set; }

    public RepositoryBase(IDbContext context)
    {
        Contract.Requires(context != null);

        Context = context;

        if (context != null)
        {
            ObjectSet = Context.CreateDbSet<T>();

            if (ObjectSet == null)
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException();
            }
        }
    }

    public IRepository<T> Remove(T entity)
    {
        ObjectSet.Remove(entity);
        return this;
    }

    public IRepository<T> SaveChanges()
    {
        Context.SaveChanges();
        return this;
    }
}

// CaseRepository.cs

public class CaseRepository : RepositoryBase<Case>, ICaseRepository
{
    public CaseRepository(IDbContext context)
            : base(context)
    {
        Contract.Requires(context != null);
    }

    public bool RemoveCaseReplyFromCase(int caseId, int caseReplyId)
    {
        Case caseToRemoveReplyFrom = ObjectSet.Include(x => x.Replies).FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == caseId);
        var delete = caseToRemoveReplyFrom.Replies.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == caseReplyId);

        caseToRemoveReplyFrom.Replies.Remove(delete);

        return Context.SaveChanges() >= 1;
    }
}

Thanks in advance.
