I am using sort of the following code to get all properties of a entity
IList<EdmProperty> list = entity.Properties.Where(p => p.TypeUsage.EdmType is PrimitiveType && p.DeclaringType == entity)
Then I iterate through these list, access each Property and read the Property Properties (Yeah, much properties, hope no one gets to confused).
While I can easily access the General
attributes I don't know how to access the other Properties of the the Entity-Property like Max Length
& Fixed Length
Those properties are not part of PrimitiveType
. They are directly in p.TypeUsage
under Facets
property.
Try the following code:
var MaxLength = (property as EdmMember).TypeUsage.Facets.Where(f => f.Name == "MaxLength").SingleOrDefault();
int maxLength = -1;
if(MaxLength != null)
maxLength = (int)MaxLength.Value;
You can use the maxLength variable in the template code. Any other facet can be accessed in a similar way.
protected void RecognizeByMetadata(IList<Facet> facets)
{
//Dictionary<string, string> attributes = new Dictionary<string, string>();
//facets.AsParallel().ForAll(x => attributes.Add(x.Name, x.Value + ""));
try{
var t = facets.Where(x => x.Name == "MaxLength").Select(x => x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
if (t != null)
{
string typ = t.GetType().FullName;
this.isMax = (t.ToString() == "Max");
if (!isMax)
this.MaxLength = (int?)t;
}
else
{
isMax = false;
MaxLength = null;
}
this.IsNullable = (bool?)facets.Where(x => x.Name == "Nullable").Select(x => x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
this.Defaultvalue = facets.Where(x => x.Name == "DefaultValue").Select(x => x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
this.IsUnicode = (bool?)facets.Where(x => x.Name == "Unicode").Select(x => x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
this.IsFixedlength = (bool?)facets.Where(x => x.Name == "FixedLength").Select(x => x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
//string precision = facets.Where(x => x.Name == "Precision").Select(x => x.Value + "").FirstOrDefault();
//string scale = facets.Where(x => x.Name == "Scale").Select(x => x.Value + "").FirstOrDefault();
isRecognized = true;
recognizeUnique();

string mewssage = e.Message;
throw;
