What is a .dbml.layout file for? Is it important? Or, maybe, it just stores the placing of blocks in the designer and can be deleted?
I’ve got this question because I want to edit the .dbml file manually and need to know if I must edit .dbml.layout accordingly or can just delete it to get it recreated automatically. Luckily it seems for me that it is indeed autogenerated.
The layout file is just to show you how your model classes are laid out in the designer. I don’t believe it has any information about the actual schema etc. If your experimentation shows that it’s being regenerated for you and you don’t mind losing any custom layouts you’ve created to make the diagram simpler to understand, it should be fine to delete it.
