Question

I was using EF4 and a piece of code I found to get the MaxLength value from an entity like this:

public static int? GetMaxLength(string entityTy         


        

Answer 1

I had similar issue and solution is here;

  MyDBEntities ctx = new MyDBEntities();
        var objectContext = ((IObjectContextAdapter)ctx).ObjectContext;

        var cols = from meta in objectContext.MetadataWorkspace.GetItems(DataSpace.CSpace)
                   .Where(m => m.BuiltInTypeKind == BuiltInTypeKind.EntityType)
                   from p in (meta as EntityType).Properties
                      .Where(p => p.DeclaringType.Name == "TableName")
                   select new
                   {
                       PropertyName = p.Name                          
                   };
