Entity framework Delete multiple rows using a stored proc

The quickest way to delete is using a stored procedure. I prefer stored procedures in a database project over dynamic SQL because renames will be handled correctly and have compiler errors. Dynamic SQL could refer to tables that have been deleted/renamed causing run time errors.

In this example, I have two tables List and ListItems. I need a fast way to delete all the ListItems of a given list.

CREATE TABLE [act].[Lists]
(
    [Id] INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY, 
    [Name] NVARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
)
GO
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX [IU_Name] ON [act].[Lists] ([Name])
GO
CREATE TABLE [act].[ListItems]
(
    [Id] INT NOT NULL IDENTITY, 
    [ListId] INT NOT NULL, 
    [Item] NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, 
    CONSTRAINT PK_ListItems_Id PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED (Id),
    CONSTRAINT [FK_ListItems_Lists] FOREIGN KEY ([ListId]) REFERENCES [act].[Lists]([Id]) ON DELETE CASCADE
)
go
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_ListItems_Item 
ON [act].[ListItems] ([ListId], [Item]); 
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE [act].[DeleteAllItemsInList]
    @listId int
AS
    DELETE FROM act.ListItems where ListId = @listId
RETURN 0

Now the interesting part of deleting the items and updating Entity framework using an extension

public static class ListExtension
{
    public static void DeleteAllListItems(this List list, ActDbContext db)
    {
        if (list.Id > 0)
        {
            var listIdParameter = new SqlParameter("ListId", list.Id);
            db.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("[act].[DeleteAllItemsInList] @ListId", listIdParameter);
        }
        foreach (var listItem in list.ListItems.ToList())
        {
            db.Entry(listItem).State = EntityState.Detached;
        }
    }
}

The main code can now use it is as

[TestMethod]
public void DeleteAllItemsInListAfterSavingToDatabase()
{
    using (var db = new ActDbContext())
    {
        var listName = "TestList";
        // Clean up
        var listInDb = db.Lists.Where(r => r.Name == listName)
                               .FirstOrDefault();
        if (listInDb != null)
        {
            db.Lists.Remove(listInDb);
            db.SaveChanges();
        }

        // Test
        var list = new List() { Name = listName };
        list.ListItems.Add(new ListItem() { Item = "Item 1" });
        list.ListItems.Add(new ListItem() { Item = "Item 2" });
        db.Lists.Add(list);
        db.SaveChanges();
        listInDb = db.Lists.Find(list.Id);
        Assert.AreEqual(2, list.ListItems.Count);
        list.DeleteAllListItems(db);
        db.SaveChanges();
        listInDb = db.Lists.Find(list.Id);
        Assert.AreEqual(0, list.ListItems.Count);
    }
}
