Reset Identity column to zero in SQL Server?

Question

How can I reset the Identity column of a table to zero in SQL Server?

Edit:

How can we do it with LINQ to SQL ?

Answer 1

Use the LINQ to SQL ExecuteCommand to run the required SQL.

db.ExecuteCommand("DBCC CHECKIDENT('table', RESEED, 0);");

LINQ is a data-source agnostic query language and has no built-in facilities for this kind of data-source specific functionality. LINQ to SQL doesn't provide a specific function to do this either AFAIK.
