How to Determine a property is ComplexType?

I want to implement an IsComplexType() method, which check if the given property from an entity is a ComplexType.

After reading Entity Framework's source code, i find it has implemented one in the "Helper" class, but the class is "internal", so i can't use it outside Entity Framework project.

I wonder if there's a public API in Entity Framework which enable me to do this. If not, how can i implement it?

Try this :

        var dbContext = new DbContext("ConnectionString");
        var complexType = dbContext.Entry(TEntity).ComplexProperty("ProperyName");
        if (complexType != null)
        {
            // This is a Complex Type
        }

Hope this help.
