I realize this is probably not an issue for those who are not crazy like we are here and have just a few tables/business objects in their application, but, it's really a pain that the mapping results screen is setup as on top and comes up on top of everything else on the system.  It's not an issue if I just build one partial, but when I rebuild all (happens more than I would like due to structure changes etc) it can of course take a while, and while this is running my primary monitor is close to useless.  I know I could put VS over on the secondary and the mapper would follow, but I prefer to have VS on the primary and other stuff on my secondary monitor.

Cyrus,

Yeah, the BO Mapper is a topmost window...we did this because without the TopMost flag, the window had a tendency to disappear (amongst other issues early on).  We do, however, allow this window to be positioned and it will retain its previous position.  But for now, while working on a single monitor, I understand the problem and we can try to make an adjustment later, but for now there is not much we can do without making a change to the BO Mapper.  I will look into this for future enhancements though.  Thanks!

I'll try dragging the window down to the bottom of the screen next time and see if that helps.  That will at least let me do other stuff while doing long builds (like I need to do tonight).

Cyrus,

In most cases, you generally do not want to rebuild the partial classes for every BO.  Generally you just need to rebuild the partial for the class or two that you have changed.  In this case, right-click the BO that you want to build, then click "Build Partial."  This way only the BO that needs to be built will be built versus waiting for every BO every time.
