How can the .dbml be created programmatically? If I don't want to use
the full GUI designer and instead want to automatically build
associated data classes when the DB schema changes, how can I do that?

Thanks.
 
Thanks for Miha's prompt reply.

Hello Coconet,

SQLMetal is a pretty straightforward command tool that is installed
alongside Visual Studio and can be used to generate classes for you.
For more details, you may check out:

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know, if you have any more
concern. We are glad to assist you.
Have a great day,
Best regards,

Wen Yuan
