My 2c:
Generated files should, in theory, never be edited. They should be
regenerated as fit, OR, the generator should be altered to fix the
bugs/issues. Which means that yes, human edited files should be small
and generated files can go to whatever size they want. If you take a
hint from VS that would mean making the generated code partial AND
placing it in a 'generated' region.
e.g. In Form1.Designer.cs
partial class Form1
{
public void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
//...
}
#region Windows Forms Designer Generated Code
public void InitializeComponent()
{
//...
}
#endregion
}
Note that generated stubs should be in a abstract class and should be
overriden to ensure that changes are not lost on a re-generate.
This is just my 2c based on current practices.
