Getting mapped column names of properties in entity framework

Question

in my project I use Entity Framework 6. I have these entities:

   public class Person
    {
        [Key]
        public int Id { get; set; }

        public

You can get to the actual string "Person_Id" from the storage model, but you cannot identify that property/column as the foreign key. For that you would need Person_Id to exist in the conceptual model. I still don't quite understand why you wouldn't want it in the model, but here's how you would get it from the storage metadata:

using ( var context = new YourEntities() )
{
  var objectContext = ( ( IObjectContextAdapter )context ).ObjectContext;
  var storageMetadata = ( (EntityConnection)objectContext.Connection ).GetMetadataWorkspace().GetItems( DataSpace.SSpace );
  var entityProps = ( from s in storageMetadata where s.BuiltInTypeKind == BuiltInTypeKind.EntityType select s as EntityType );
  var personRightStorageMetadata = ( from m in entityProps where m.Name == "PersonRight" select m ).Single();
  foreach ( var item in personRightStorageMetadata.Properties )
  {
      Console.WriteLine( item.Name );
  }
}
