Question

I have an Entity which is basically one Datamodel.

That Model has several “Columns”

ID, names, addresses, zip codes

All these columns are populated with data.

To “connect” to my entity framework, I’m using

using ( EntityFrameworkEntity entites = new EntityFrameworkEntity() ) 
{

}

So how can I get the names of these Columns now in a String array?

The Result should look like :

StringArray[0] = "ID"
StringArray[1] = "names"
StringArray[2] = "addresses" 
.
.
.

Any Help will be highly appreciated as I’m a beginner

try this:

IEnumerable<FieldList> properties = from p in typeof(T).GetProperties()
                                where (from a in p.GetCustomAttributes(false)
                                where a is EdmScalarPropertyAttribute
                                select true).FirstOrDefault()
                                select new FieldList
                                {
                                   FieldName = p.Name,
                                   FieldType = p.PropertyType,
                                   FieldPK = p.GetCustomAttributes(false).Where(a => a is EdmScalarPropertyAttribute && ((EdmScalarPropertyAttribute)a).EntityKeyProperty).Count() > 0
                                 };
