How to find out field maximum length in Entity Framework in .NET 4?

Question

According to this question, there's no built-in way in EF v1 to figure out the length of a field. Is there a built-in way to do so in the Entity Framework that ships with .NET 4, if so - how?

Answer 1

There is no new way to access the length of a property in EF 4.0. You still have to walk over the metadata - as shown in the accepted answer on the question you reference.
