Visual Studio designer failed to autogenerate designer.cs data classes
I had a really strange observation today. I opened one of my LINQ to SQL dbml files, made some changes, and then saved it back to have my designer generated data classes updated. But instead of reflecting my changes in the .designer.cs class, Visual studio deleted that designer generated file. I tried several times but every time LINQ designer was deleting my autogenerated data classes. I googled and found an amazing answer by Marc Gravell at this stackoverflow question. The position of using statements was the source of problem!!!
