Question

I am looking to get a list of the column names returned from a Model. Anyone know how this would be done, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Example Code:

var project = db.Projects.Single(p => p.ProjectID.Equals(Id)); 

This code would return the Projects object, how would I get a list of all the column names in this Model.

Thanks

I am sorry, I don’t have working experience with LINQ.

This is purely based on looking at MSDN.

DataContext has a Mapping property, which returns an instance of MetaModel.
MetaModel has GetMetaType, which takes a Type. In your case it could be typeof(Project).
GetMetaType returns a MetaType which has the GetDataMember method, which takes a MemberInfo parameter. You will have to use reflection on your Projects object to get the MemberInfo object.
The MetaDataMember instance returned by GetDataMember should have all the things, you need.

I hope I am somewhat in right direction (purely looking at MSDN & traversing)
