I have a simple database:
ARTICLE
----------
ArticleId (PK),
ArticleTitle
..other stuff...
USER-ARTICLE
------------
ArchiveId (PK),
UserId,
ArticleId
..other stuff...
The articleId's are foreign keys.
I want to be able to delete a user article row by UserArticleId using the following code,
UserArticle myobjtodelete = PersonalArchiveDb.UserArticles.Single(ua => ua.ArchiveId == 3);
PersonalArchiveDb.UserArticles.DeleteOnSubmit(myobjtodelete);
PersonalArchiveDb.SubmitChanges();
(Yes I'm aware I can do the statement inside the delete rather than retrieving the object, it was for debugging purposes to make sure the object definitely exists - it does.)
When the debugger hits the SubmitChanges() line, I get a runtime error:
Specified cast is not valid.
Here is the stack trace,

I am at a loss, any ideas?
