c# - Entity Framework 4.1 dynamically retrieve summary for scalar properties from database table column description

I'm using Entity-Framework 4.1 database-first approach. I have a legacy database which every table column has description. It's very helpful when you watch those description in database diagram.

At the same Entity Framework DataContext has a Summary property for each scalar value.

I'm wondering is there any way I could load those descriptions from the database and map them to the Summary of scalar properties ?

I would appreciate any directions

Take a look at How can I make the Entity data model designer use my database column descriptions?, Vote for the feature at https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/498313/retrieve-the-sql-descriptions-in-entity-framework [See update], Or if you are in a hurry, buy a third party tool at http://huagati.com/dbmltools/.

Update: Just found out that ADO.Net team has marked the feature as Won't fix in Their feedback center. But found a tool that does the work at http://eftsqldocgenerator.codeplex.com/. Haven't tested it though.
