heh :)
I think it's not that weird to avoid partial classes when you can.
AFter all, it's not really increasing maintainability that much, as code is
scattered over multiple files. But it's a big step forward compared to the
in-file code regions which were 'safe havens' for custom code in generated
code.
Code generation is a topic that's being researched a lot. There are a
lot of neat ideas but not a lot of these flow down to the developer's toolbox.
Lets hope that changes in the coming year(s) ;)
