I haven't really used L2SQL for a long time, so if thats working for you, great! I was doing quite major restructuring in the designer and finding my changes lost.

Hi Harry,

I find that creating a partial class with customizations allows changes to be held even if one uses the MS technique of re-linking SQL structures within the designer. One would keep the partial class name consistent and add additional code custumizations to the code. I keep this in a separate file in case I want to re-generate my LINQ2SQL files.

For example:

partial class StateManagementDataContext : System.Data.Linq.DataContext
{
partial void OnCreated()
{
this.CommandTimeout = 3600;
}
}
