Delete record using entity framework

Question

I am having trouble deleting an entity -

Using db As Context = New Context
 Dim car = db.Car.First(Function(x) x.ID = txtCarID.text)
 db.Entry(car).State = Data.Entity.EntityState.Deleted
End Using

I have tried many other syntax, here is another -

 Using db As Context = New Context
 Dim car = new Car With {.ID = txtCarID.text}
 db.Car.Attach(car)
 db.Car.Remove(car)
End Using

I have received no errors but the record is never deleted.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks,

You need to call SaveChanges method of DbContext after you made the changes. Otherwise changes will not be committed to databse.
