Linq to sql as object data source - designer problem with partial classes?
Rclick on dbml and choose View Code (F7). This will create a code file DataClasses1. Cs (if its not there already) within the same "group".
This file contains a partial class and will never be auto-generated. You can place your code there.
Next I have added a DataGridView to a Windows Form and selected a new Object Data Source with one table from my LINQ To SQL file. So far everything works OK. Problem starts when I want to add a new property to one of my auto-generated entity classes.
All the classes declared as "partial", so theoretically I should be able to write code to the "DataClasses1.cs" file with my new property. When I do it I can see the new property in my code (Intellisense works) but the designer doesn't recognize it (for example when I select columns in the datagridview it doesn't appear on the list of available fields). But when I move the new property to the "DataClasses1.
Designer.cs" file everything works fine. I do not want to place my code in designer file as it is autogenerated and can be overwritten autmatically. What can I do to make the Windows Forms designer recognize properties added to files different than designer.cs?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
