SqlMetalPlus Description

The SqlMetalPlus add-in adds easily accessible context menu commands to your DBML files to either apply custom changes or to refresh the whole DBML file with the latest changes from the database.When using LINQ to SQL in one of our projects, we came across a situation where we had to make a lot of changes to the DBML file SqlMetal generates, such as:- Change all lookup values to enums so that our code looks more elegant - Modify the generated association member names to our own names for better readability - Remove unwanted tables/Stored Procedures While trying to make all the above changes, it became cumbersome to repeat the same changes again and again whenever we regenerated the DBML. So, I started with writing a small script which finally got transformed to a VS add-in.
