ADO.NET实体框架Entity Framework模型-基于元数据解析
上一篇简单介绍了EF的XML模型结构，在基于xml解析一文中，主要使用xml查询技术Xpath，XQuery来得到实体模型中相应信息的，由于这种方式在数据库庞大，表关系复杂的情况下，有诸多弊端，所有使用基于元数据解析EF将更加简单便捷，适用性强。
本文主要介绍EDM元数据及其操作，实现功能与ADO.NET实体框架Entity Framework模型-基于XML解析类似，有些增强。
操作元数据一般使用以下几个步骤：
- 读取EDM模型
- 获取实体结构
- 获取功能结构
- 组织需要数据
通过API访问EDM主要通过下面三个类：
ObjectContext，EntityConnection和MetadataWorkspace。
在我的程序中主要使用左右一个MeadataWorkspace，该类的功能是暴露API以访问元数的。
DEM结果与元数据类的对应关系:
使用以下方法，可以访问XML模型中<!-- SSDL content -->下EntityType节点下的所有元数据。
var items=ctx.MetadataWorkspace.GetItems<EntityType>(DataSpace.CSpace);
