Programatically change Update Check to 'Never' on Field in DBML

I've got a table:

BlogPost
-------
ID
Text
PageViews

I required the PageViews column to have the Update Check field property set to Never.

Removing BlogPost from my .dbml file then re-adding it removes all these update check settings.

Is there any way to either:

• Keep the update check property value when removing/adding object from dbml file
• OR set the update check property programatically

Making changes to the underlying structure and removing/adding it back into the DBML file is begging for me to forget to set one of the update check fields on day which could cause big problems in production.
