I´m using linq to sql and I have a lot of tables with foreign keys leading to the UserId.
Is it possible to have some of these foreign tables cleaned upon deletion.
For example I want the users profile (other table) to be deleted automatically with the user but not the users forum posts.
Is this possible or do I have to handle this with code?

LINQ to SQL does not support or recognize cascade-delete operations. If you want to delete a row in a table that has constraints against it, you must complete either of the following tasks: Set the ON DELETE CASCADE rule in the foreign-key constraint in the database.
LINQ to SQL was the first object-relational mapping technology released by Microsoft. It works well in basic scenarios and continues to be supported in Visual Studio, but it's no longer under active development.
The DELETE Statement in SQL is used to delete existing records from a table. We can delete a single record or multiple records depending on the condition we specify in the WHERE clause. DELETE FROM table_name WHERE some_condition; table_name: name of the table some_condition: condition to choose particular record.
I think this link is very usefull.

database.Use your own code to first delete the child objects that prevent the parent object from being deleted.
