LINQ to SQL - dyanamic updates

[Cowboy \(Gregory A. Beamer\)]

Just wanted to ping this off of someone and what better place to do it than
here.

I have the following:
public void Delete(T entity)
{
Type type = entity.GetType();
//TODO: Can make this dynamic for flexibility
string property = "IsDeleted";

PropertyInfo propertyInfo = type.GetProperty(property);

if (propertyInfo == null)
{
Destroy(entity);
}
else
{
using (System.Data.Linq.DataContext context =
_dataContextFactory.Context)
{
Table<T> table = context.GetTable<T>();
//TODO: Figure out why .Attach() is not working and stop
grabbing object
entity = table.First(s => s == entity);

MethodInfo methodInfo = propertyInfo.GetSetMethod();
object[] o = { true };
methodInfo.Invoke(entity, o);

context.SubmitChanges();
}
}
}

It works, but there must be an easier way to save than to find the object
prior to making changes. The destroy method works fine,. but having to
search for the object prior to Submitting changes seems rather cheese to me.
Thoughts?

I have updated on my blog and it seems to be working. Dynamically finding
the primary key seems to be the best option. Still have to find the object
using the data context, but it flows nicely.
