I'm writing a custom code generation template and I need to know the the members of the IdeaBlade.EntityModel.Edm.Metadata.EntityOrComplexTypeWrapper class. Where can I find documentation or something that will reveal them? I'm tired of guessing. And not doing well.
 
My immediate objective is to find method or property that will yield the database name of an entity, that is, the table name.

Hi jhoward,

Try the following,

var entityType = entityOrComplexType as EntityTypeWrapper;
var dbTableName = entityType.DbTableName;

Not sure if you've already known this but we ship our code generation templates source code (BaseDomainModelTemplate, DomainModelTemplate and DomainModelTemplateCodeFirst). They should be located in your DevForce2010 installation folder.

Thanks. I finally figured out to add a reference to IdeaBlade.EntityModel.Edm.Metadata.dll to one of my projects. Then I could type in partial class names and let InteliSense lead me to the names and metadata. Which is what we all do all the time. Don't know why I didn't think of it this time.
 
My custom template is working great now! Thanks.
