'runtime' means reflective instantiation in a customtool for purpose of generating dto code.

Getting intrinsic fields is not a problem using FieldInfoProvider. Related Entities/Collections are easily discovered via GetAllRelations.

But I am having no luck finding a vector for discovering fields mapped on related entity fields.

Am currently generating a new info class in template enumerating info for these fields but wish to remove the custom template requirement and get the info from the dbGeneric assembly directly.

Am I missing something or will I need to continue with the custom info object strategy?

thanks, Sky

I'm struggling to see anywhere else - I'll pass it up to the development team to see if they have any further ideas.

This information isn't available at runtime, as fields mapped onto related fields are more or less custom properties and we're not aware of a use case to have this meta-data information (which thus won't be used by the framework) in the generated code.

So as you need this extra information, it's best to generate this information through a template, as it's not available at runtime because the framework doesn't use that information itself.
