Answer 1

How about modifying the Properties of the entity/table within the DataContext design surface within Visual Studio?

For instance if I added a column to an SQL Server table:

1. Open the *.dbml file.
2. Right click the entity and select Add > Property.
3. Fill out the values in the Properties window for the new column.
4. Build your solution.

The auto generated model classes should reflect the new column that was added.
