Hi,
anybody have any easy way of doing this in Visual Studio, without having to use the Server Explorer ?
I tried also looking at macro's but recording only produce
Sub TemporaryMacro()
End Sub
So no luck there.
Any way to script this?

A:
There is one good utility out there which helps you update your existing DBML files from the database: Huagati DBML/EDMX tools.
It's not free, but worth the investment for any serious Linq-to-SQL development.
The only alternative would be to write it yourself - read the database structure and compare that to the XML representation in the DBML, and update the DBML as needed.

Hmm, yes.. unfortunate, they must plan to add this to next release of SqlMetal... But seems like a nice tool, but I don't have budget for nice to have issues.Been trying to figure out how to script it in VStudio Macro's but no luck yet.

@Exception Duck: I doubt it - Microsoft has said it won't be putting much effort into Linq-to-SQL and its tooling anymore.
