@sayitfast: I'm afraid it's a limitation in SPMetal itself rather than the extension I've made.

any chance it could be enhanced to do publishing HTML columns?

Waldek do you have a solution for bringing in managed metadata?

@Sander: As far as I know these are not the only field types that are not being picked up. If I'm not wrong SPMetal picks up only field types that ship with SharePoint Foundation, so everything else like Managed Metadata, Rich HTML, isn't there out of the box.

I use it over and over again! Currently I'm working on a publishing solution and it turns out that columns like Scheduling Start Date or Scheduling End Date aren't picked up…tryin' to fix it.

@John: thanks for the feedback. It would be cool if you could add your feature request @ cksdev.codeplex.com, so that we can keep track of it there

@Waldek: Can you put in support for VB in your add-in. It's a great idea by the way!!!

Works like a charm. No need for those bulky classes and clumsy batch files calling spmetal.
