title: Distinguishing between storage model and conceptual model field names (Entity Framework)
body: <p>Every sample I come across has the entities and properties in the storage model named exactly the same as in the conceptual model. So in the mapping section, I can't tell whether an entity or property is from the storage model or conceptual model.</p>
  
  <p>This is a snippet of an Entity Framework diagram. Which "ID" fields are from the database and which are from the entities?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;AssociationSetMapping Name="FK_Orders_Customers" TypeName="ContosoModel.FK_Orders_Customers" StoreEntitySet="Order"&gt; 
    &lt;EndProperty Name="Customer"&gt;
      &lt;ScalarProperty Name="ID" ColumnName="CustomerID" /&gt;
    &lt;/EndProperty&gt;
    &lt;EndProperty Name="Order"&gt;
      &lt;ScalarProperty Name="ID" ColumnName="ID" /&gt;
    &lt;/EndProperty&gt;
  &lt;/AssociationSetMapping&gt;
  </code></pre>
