Finding a table in a Linq to SQL DBML file in Visual Studio 2008

One problem that can take up a lot of time if you are working in a large project with a lot of tables in the DBML database model file when using Linq to SQL in Visual Studio is finding the table in the diagram.  Control+F doesn’t work, and it can be a real pain to scroll around for ages.  However, the following article mentions a very simple solution – just use the dropdown at the top of the properties window!  Seems obvious, but I know quite a few people have been complaining about that for months!

    Thank you for posting this on your blog! I wasn’t looking for this specifically but it was something that bugged me often. I don’t think I ever would have thought of that.

    Cheers
