'<TableName("Prod Model Desc")> _
<MetadataType(GetType(ProductModelProductDescriptionMetaData))> _
<DisplayName("Modified")> _
Public Class ProductModelProductDescription

End Class


Public Class ProductModelProductDescriptionMetaData

    '<DisplayFormat(False, True, "{0:d}", True)> _
    <DisplayName("Modified")> _
    Public ReadOnly Property ModifiedDate() As Object
        Get
            Return ""
        End Get
    End Property


    <DisplayName("Description")> _

            Return ""
        End Get
    End Property

End Class

Remarks

The TableNameAttribute attribute is used to change the entity name in the metadata when there are entity name conflicts from multiple contexts. The TableNameAttribute attribute should not be used to change the display name. Instead, use the DisplayNameAttribute attribute to change the display name.
