Get metadata of model (TableName) in mvc4 Using t4 Scaffolding

Question

Using MVC4 and T4 Template(Scaffolding) I am creating a model in mvc4 and specify the table name in DBContext. 1)I need to get the table from Dbcontext against model name. 2)Need to get value from annotation Table.

[Table(name: "Pay_Emp_Qualifications", Schema = "Sample")]
public class EmpQualification
{
    [Key]
    public int EMP_QUALI_ID { get; set; }
    public String Qualification { get; set; }
}

Currently we getting load the dll against the model and using reflection we get.We are trying to avoid this dll

var  objFile= Assembly.LoadFile(@"bin\wbtest.dll");

var objMaster = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Load(new AssemblyName(Convert.ToString(objFile))).CreateInstance(namespaceInstance);

 var attributeData = objMaster.GetType().GetCustomAttributesData().Select(p =>           p.ConstructorArguments).ToArray();
           var tableNameVariable= attributeData[0][0].Value.ToString();

How to get table name against model name in t4 template without using dll,we using ModelProperty class. Please Suggest.

While this doesn't exactly answer your question, it gives you an alternative way of loading the assembly so that it doesn't lock it. T4 and MSBuild integration issues
