LINQ COlumnAtrributes

[wildThought]

Does anyone know how to inspect the column attributes such as name and
DBType at run time assuming one is starting with a SQLMetal generated
table?

wildThought,

Well, if you have the type that has the ColumnAttribute attached to it,
you can easily cycle through the fields/properties using reflection, and
look for the ColumnAttribute attached to it. Once you have the instance,
you can get the information about the DBType from the properties on the
ColumnAttribute.
