AssociationsPart property

[Wolfgang]

Hi

According to 
http://docs.telerik.com/data-access/feature-reference/api/data-access-metadata/metadata-types/conceptual-types/metadata-metadata-types-meta-association

it should be possible to access a table columns for an association via AssociationsPart.

I tried to access navigationmember.Association.AssociationParts - but it seems to be private, so i cannot access it. 
The Navigationmember has no Constraint, so i cannot get the column via contraint either.

What would be a way to get the column name in this case?

foreach (MetaMember mm in persistenType.Members)
MetaNavigationMember navigationMember = member as MetaNavigationMember;
if(member != null) 
mm.Associataion. ?

Best regards
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

Yes, the AssociationParts are internal and cannot be accessed directly from the MetaAssociation.

To get the AssociationParts from MetaNavigationMember you should use the MetadataWorker with the static method GetAssociationPartsForAssociation:

1.var association = nav.Association as MetaAssociation;
2.var associationParts = MetadataWorker.GetAssociationPartsForAssociation(association, AssociationPartType.ForeignKey);

I hope that helps.
