Git autocrlf problem revisited -- and solved!

Sometimes when switching from one branch to another, Git will pick a seemingly random set of files and complain that they've changed, when it's just line endings that apparently it doesn't like. The key symptom here is that "git diff" shows a ton of files whose entire contents have changed, while "git diff -w" shows no changes in those same files.

The following commands, issued in a row, will work:

git add -u
git config core.autocrlf false
git reset
git config --unset core.autocrlf

This assumes that you've got core.autocrlf normally on by default in the global settings file. If you do not, then replace the last line with the following:

git config core.autocrlf true

Or, to consolidate in one command, the first version is:

git add -u && git config core.autocrlf false && git reset && git config --unset core.autocrlf

while the second is:

git add -u && git config core.autocrlf false && git reset && git config core.autocrlf true

MSLinqToSQLGenerator fails when there's a partial class having a Using at the top of the file | Microsoft Connect

Finally. Resolution!

MSLinqToSQLGenerator fails with partial class having a Using at the top of the file | Microsoft Connect: "If you add a partial class declaration to a Linq-To-SQL Data Classes context object, and then put a 'using' statement at the top of the file outside the namespace declaration, the following error occurs when you run the custom tool:

'The custom tool 'MSLinqToSQLGenerator' failed. Unspecified error'

Also, Visual Studio will then delete the corresponding '.designer.cs' file for your data context and nothing will compile after that point."
