C# Entity Framework Basics CRUD Operations Deleting an Entity

'GetContext' doesn't exist?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Thought I was following just what the video demonstrates. What have I lost in translation?

Repository.cs
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public static class Repository
    {
        public static List<Course> GetCourses()
        {
            using (var context = new Context())
            {
                return context.Courses
                              .OrderBy(c => c.Teacher.LastName)
                              .ThenBy(c => c.Teacher.FirstName)
                              .ToList();
            }
        }

        public static List<Course> GetCoursesByTeacher(string lastName)
        {
            using (var context = new Context())
            {
                return context.Courses
                              .Where(c => c.Teacher.LastName == lastName)
                              .ToList();
            }
        }

        public static Course GetCourse(int id)
        {
            using (var context = new Context())
            {
                return context.Courses
                              .Include(c => c.Teacher)
                              .SingleOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
            }
        }

        public static void AddCourse(Course course)
        {
            using (var context = new Context())
            {
                context.Courses.Add(course);
                context.SaveChanges();
            }
        }

        public static void UpdateCourse(Course course)
        {
            using (var context = new Context())
            {
                context.Courses.Attach(course);
                context.Entry(course).State = EntityState.Modified;
                context.SaveChanges();
            }
        }

        public static void DeleteCourse(int id)
        {
            using (Context context = new GetContext())
            {
                var course = new Course() { Id == id };
                context.Entry(course).State = EntityState.Deleted;

                context.SaveChanges();
            }
        }
    }
}

The challenge code is not the same as the video example.

As you discovered, there's no "GetContext" here. But you can look at any of the other methods in this class to see an example of a using statement that would work here.

And when you establish your stub, instead of assigning ("=") the Id you have a comparison instead ("==").

Got it. Thanks!
