Too bad you're not working on it anymore. I'm not sure why you don't get much response. Probably because lots of people just create their dbml/code once and then move on, forgetting this tool ever existed.
I use it to update my dbml file every time I make large changes/additions to my database. I love it. In case you (or somebody else) ever picks up this project again, here are some things I noticed:
* It doesn't remember recently used files (would be a convenient feature)
* When you open a previous project file with a database connection (not through a connectionstring) it doesn's select the database (although the previous database is the only option in the list before you click "test connection")
* It would be nice if it could automatically delete the code file (.designer.cs) and the layout file (dbml.layout) or else VS2008 can't open the dbml.
* This might be much to ask for, but integration in VS would be awesome: right-click a dbml and select "synchronize".
I also found a similar project on CodePlex (www.codeplex.com/sqlmetalosui) but I removed it as soon as I noticed it doesn't remember my settings and it doesn't do windows authentication (unless you do it manually in a connectionstring).
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
