IGeneratorGetExternalTypeNameForTypeIfAny Method

Gets the external type name for the type specified, if any, for the active database. It retrieves this from the target framework of the entity model, as everything derives from that. If no external type is defined for the type specified, it will return null, so the caller knows the type is to be treated as-is.
