How are partial methods used in C# 3.0?

[System.Data.Linq.Mapping.DatabaseAttribute(Name="MyDB")]
public partial class MyDataContext : System.Data.Linq.DataContext
{
    ...

    partial void OnCreated();
    partial void InsertMyTable(MyTable instance);
    partial void UpdateMyTable(MyTable instance);
    partial void DeleteMyTable(MyTable instance);

    ...

public partial class MyDataContext
{
    partial void OnCreated() {
        //do something on data context creation
    }
}

//this code will get optimised out if no body is implemented
partial void DoSomethingIfCompFlag();

#if COMPILER_FLAG
//this code won't exist if the flag is off
partial void DoSomethingIfCompFlag() {
    //your code
}
#endif
