The custom tool ‘MSLinqToSQLGenerator’ failed. Could not retrieve the current project.

To correct this, open up the Visual Studio 2008 command prompt (or any command prompt and navigate to the location of the VS exe ‘devenv.exe’) and type the following command:

devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

Then open your LinqToSql file(s) (*.dbml) and save to trigger the code generator tool.  After that, you should hopefully be up and running once more.
