How can i ignore a DbUpdateConcurrencyException with my Entity Framework code?

Question

Is there any way I can tell EF to not worry about the number of rows a DELETE or UPDATE do or don\'t do?

I\'m trying to delete

You can in fact ignore these kinds of issues by setting:

db.Configuration.ValidateOnSaveEnabled = false;

Where db is the DbContext instance.

Obviously you should know what you're doing when you do this, but then again, most approaches to updating a database that are not EF don't have any change tracking/validation and just issue update/insert/delete to the database naively without checking anything first, so you're basically just telling EF to behave more like that.
