    <p>There's an exe as part of VS2008 class SQLMetal.exe which does the important part of generating the DataContext.cs file. I think all you'd have to do is change the DBML file (it's a simple XML file), run SQLMetal (producing a .CS), and then run csc.exe (part of the .NET framework) to produce an Assembly (It'll be easier if you put the DataContext in an assembly by itself). This essentially boils down to option 2, but with far fewer files which need to be installed.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Update</strong>: Re-reading you question, I realize it's not the table names that changed, but the <em>database</em> name. This is a different problem (although the solution described above will work for that too).</p> <p>When VS2008 generates the DataContext class from the .dbml file, it creates two constructors: One which taken no parameters, and once which takes one string (plus a couple more ctors, which we can ignore). </p> <p>The zero parameter ctor uses the connection string you used when you created the dbml, which it then embeds in the resource file. This is an <em>incredibly</em> dumb design, and really should only be used for proof-of-concept code and demos. </p> <p>All real production code should use the ctor which takes a string -- specifically, the connection string --- which you should read out of the app.config file.</p> <p>This of course means the "correct" solution is option #1 -- rewrite the code at your office and re-deploy. It's a bother, but in the long run, it's for the best.</p>

    1. CO@james: that's actually wrong, linq2sql does supports using the connection string, see my answer

    3. COI'm reviewing the code and the class is instantiated using the constructor with the connection parameter. Anyways I'll keep studying the problem. Thanks for your answer!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
