How to retrieve mapping table name for an Entity in Entity-framework in program

Question

is there any way to retrieve mapping table name for an Entity in Entity-framework in program? I know you can use .ToTraceString() to get the command text and then extract the table name, but ToTraceString() method is very slow. is there any other way like using ObjectContext.MetadataWorkspace? Thanks

Answer 1

Thanks for your answer, but the code above works for LINQ to SQL, it does not work for Entity framework, because the entity classes in EF dont have table name attribute.the mapping information is in edmx file in XML.

Answer 2

You can use <dataContext>.<EntityName>.CommandText property to get the name of the Entity. Maybe that helps...

Answer 3

In the EF v1.0 ToTraceString is the only way.
