Question

I need to find which table is mapped to an EntityTypeConfiguration class.
For example:

  public class PersonMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<Person>
    {
        public PersonMap()
        {
    ...
            this.ToTable("Persons");
    ....

        }
    }

I need something like reverse mapping:

var map=new PersonMap(); 
string table =map.GetMappedTableName();

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Add the field to PersonMap:

public class PersonMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<Person>
{
    public string TableName { get { return "Persons"; } }
    public PersonMap()
    {
        ...
        this.ToTable(TableName);
        ...
    }
}

Access it like so:

var map = new PersonMap(); 
string table = map.TableName;

If you may not know the type of map, use an interface:

public interface IMap
{
    string TableName { get; }
}
public class PersonMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<Person>, IMap
{
    public string TableName { get { return "Persons"; } }
    public PersonMap()
    {
        ...
        this.ToTable(TableName);
        ...
    }
}

Access like so:

IMap map = new PersonMap(); 
string table = map.TableName;
