LINQ to SQL Classes & Datacontext are not created

Question

Afternoon all

This is driving me nuts.

For no apparent reason (of course there must be one), my web project will no longer generate LINQ to SQL classes/data contexts!!!

I am going about the usual routine of right clicking the project, adding new item, selected LINQ to SQL classes, then dragging over a table from Server Explorer, saving and build but no...the bloody thing won't appear!!!

Does anyone know why this might be happening/what have I done wrong?

Answer 1

Figured it out.

Basically, NEVER rename any items.

I had previously been using OnlineReporting in one item, the name space when linq creates the classes was using this as it's namespace.

However, I then later changed this to Reporting but when the linq to sql generation occurred, it was still using the 'old' namespace.

I went into the designer.cs file, amended the name space to match the new format and it worked.
