Chapter 6 - Tools for LINQ to SQL
In this chapter, we took a look at the tools that are available to generate LINQ to SQL entities and DataContext classes. The .NET Framework SDK includes the command-line tool named SQLMetal. Visual Studio 2008 has a graphical editor known as the Object Relational Designer. Both allow the creation of a DBML file, the generation of source code in C# and Visual Basic, and the creation of an external XML mapping file. The Object Relational Designer also allows you to edit an existing DBML file, dynamically importing existing tables, views, stored procedures, and user-defined functions from an existing SQL Server database.
