I am modifiying the custom class generator (in a new file of course) and I need the name of the primary key column.

I am trying to create a line of code that looks similar to this:

[some esEntity].SetColumn("<%=primary key field Name%>", <%=primary key field Name%>.Value);

This is a sample from our esEntity template in the generated folder.

foreach(EntitySpaces.MetadataEngine.IColumn col in table.PrimaryKeys)
{
	%><%=comma%><%
	%><%=esMeta.esPlugIn.CSharpToSystemType(col) + " " + esMeta.esPlugIn.ParameterName(col)%><%
	comma = ", ";
}%>)

Notice that there is a primary keys collection (could be a composite key) and if you want the name of the Column you should use Column.Alias which will be the column name unless you have defined an alias.   

Thanks Mike

I think I can get it to work except for one problem.  I am running a Custom class generator, not a Generated class generator.  And - I'm having a problem accessing the ITable object.  esMeta.Input["Table"] is null.

Oh boy...

Ok, I must not understand how to make a new custom template.  I just copied the entire "Custom Entity" template to a new file and the new file won't compile.  I get the infamous "object reference not set..." error.

What am I missing?
