LINQ Code Generation Property Names

Question

Hi,

I am using LINQ To SQL to handle data access in a project. For a case where I have multiple foreign keys in a table to the same table (for e.g. CustomerUserId, TechnicianUserId) , it generates the property names like ApplicationUser and ApplicationUser1. Is there a way to tweak the code generator to produce easier to read names.

I was pleasently surprised by LINQPad in this regard. It correctly generates property names (for e.g. in this case CustomerUser and TechnicianUser).

If you use the LINQ2SQL designer, you can select the connection between the two classes and modify the property names (expand Child Property and/or Parent Property in your properties window).
