How do you determine if a field is received via inheritance or not.

Example:

Object Class //BASE

Person Class Field Name

Employee Class Field Password

How do I determine via an Object Entity that Name for the employee is inherited?

Is this possible

I think this information is not available in the current version, but might be incorporated in the next version (2.1)

Though if you are using SelfServicing you can check the entityFiled.SourceObjectName for the database table name. In the Adapter model you'll need to get the Field PersistenceInfo to get the same information.

You can detect this using the ContainingObjectName property of the field object in the Fields collection of the entity. It will return the name (E.g. CustomerEntity) of the entity that contains the field. In your case 'Name' will return "PersonEntity" and Password will return "EmployeeEntity".

The information walaa talks about is the name of the entity the field currently is in. This isn't available at this time, but you want the information that is available
