Get generated tablename for an entity?

Question

If I have the type of my entity generated by linq2sql, how can I get the name of the table the entity belongs to? I want the tablename generated by linq2sql not the database table name.

Answer 1

Here is some code that would get all table names from a database. You could easily modify this to get the name of a single table.

var model = yourDBContext.Mapping;
foreach (var mt in model.GetTables())
    Console.WriteLine(mt.TableName);
