{
    string queryString = @"SELECT VALUE product "
    + "FROM AdventureWorksEntities.Products AS product";
    ObjectQuery<DbDataRecord> query =
        new ObjectQuery<DbDataRecord>
            (queryString, context);

    TypeUsage type = query.GetResultType();
    if (type.EdmType is RowType)
    {
        RowType row = type.EdmType as RowType;
        foreach (EdmProperty column in row.Properties)
            Console.WriteLine("{0}", column.Name);
    }
}
