    <p>After a peek into a entity framework model designer I saw that it uses the <code>EdmEntityTypeAttribute</code> and <code>DataMemberAttribute</code> to decorate generated classes and properties. Each of them have a <code>Name</code> property which contains the name of the mapped entity (table, column respectively). When the property name matches the name of the column, the designer does not supply a value for positional argument <code>Name</code>. The code below works fine for me.</p> <pre><code> private static string GetTableName&lt;T&gt;() where T : EntityObject { Type type = typeof(T); var at = GetAttribute&lt;EdmEntityTypeAttribute&gt;(type); return at.Name; } private static string GetColumnName&lt;T&gt;(Expression&lt;Func&lt;T, object&gt;&gt; propertySelector) where T : EntityObject { Contract.Requires(propertySelector != null, "propertySelector is null."); PropertyInfo propertyInfo = GetPropertyInfo(propertySelector.Body); DataMemberAttribute attribute = GetAttribute&lt;DataMemberAttribute&gt;(propertyInfo); if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(attribute.Name)) { return propertyInfo.Name; } return attribute.Name; } private static T GetAttribute&lt;T&gt;(MemberInfo memberInfo) where T : class { Contract.Requires(memberInfo != null, "memberInfo is null."); Contract.Ensures(Contract.Result&lt;T&gt;() != null); object[] customAttributes = memberInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), false); T attribute = customAttributes.Where(a =&gt; a is T).First() as T; return attribute; } private static PropertyInfo GetPropertyInfo(Expression propertySelector) { Contract.Requires(propertySelector != null, "propertySelector is null."); MemberExpression memberExpression = propertySelector as MemberExpression; if (memberExpression == null) { UnaryExpression unaryExpression = propertySelector as UnaryExpression; if (unaryExpression != null &amp;&amp; unaryExpression.NodeType == ExpressionType.Convert) { memberExpression = unaryExpression.Operand as MemberExpression; } } if (memberExpression != null &amp;&amp; memberExpression.Member.MemberType == MemberTypes.Property) { return memberExpression.Member as PropertyInfo; } throw new ArgumentException("No property reference was found.", "propertySelector"); } // Invocation example private static Test() { string table = GetTableName&lt;User&gt;(); string column = GetColumnName&lt;User&gt;(u=&gt;u.Name); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
