transactions

I have a few tables where Foreign Key constraints are added. These are used with code generation to set up specific joins in generated stored procedures.

Is it possible to override these constraints by calling multiple deletes within a transaction, specifically "TransactionScope" in C# or is cascaded deleting absolutely required?
