I need to retrieve an entityList from a table and then delete all the entities in that list.  What's the best way to handle this? Should I retrieve the entityList and then loop through the list deleting each entity or is there a better way to do it?

In most cases, it probably doesn't make a very big difference how you do it, but if you had a very big list,  you will get bettter performance if you can delete them as a group.  In particular,  mark all pf your deleted items, and then do a sisngle SaveChanges.
