I’m using Entity-Framework 4.1 database-first approach. I have a legacy database which every table column has description. It’s very helpful when you watch those description in database diagram.
At the same Entity Framework DataContext has a Summary property for each scalar value.
I’m wondering is there any way I could load those descriptions from the database and map them to the Summary of scalar properties ?
I would appreciate any directions
