Question

I have an small question I didn’t found an answer yet: how do I get in c# and using Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo the table a foreign key column is referring to?

foreach (Column column in currentTable.Columns) {         if (column.IsForeignKey) {                  //GET TABLE FOREIGN KEY REFERS TO           }    } 

Answer 1

You should start from the table itself, and enumerate all of it’s foreign keys. Sample code:

foreach (ForeignKey key in currentTable.ForeignKeys) {     foreach (ForeignKeyColumn column in key.Columns)     {         Console.WriteLine('Column: {0} is a foreign key to Table: {1}',column.Name,key.ReferencedTable);     } } 

EDIT: Small change. In second foreach loop use foreach (ForeignKeyColumn column in key.Columns) (I had it foreach (Column column in key.Columns) before, and that’s wrong. My mistake.)
