c# - How to get entity type in EntityFramework when TPH inheritance model is used -

we use table per hierarchy (tph) store inherited entities in ef6.1 (code first). internally ef uses column discriminator keep type of entity.

i can retrieve specific entity types using oftype<>() extension. can check type of entity using is operator. cannot figure out how retrieve entity type itself. have hierarchy of several entities , need retrieve few properties (i don't want load whole entities) need select entity type. current solution below. suboptimal. there way how type in better way?

return dbset.where(o => o.id == id)     .selectmany(o => o.basetransactions     .where(o => !(o x00transaction)))     .select(o => new transactioninfodto     {         transactionid = o.id,         amount = o.amount,         transactiontype =             o x01transaction                 ? loandetailtransactiontype.x01                 : o x02transaction                     ? loandetailtransactiontype.x02                     : o x03transaction                         ? loandetailtransactiontype.x03                         : o x04transaction                             ? loandetailtransactiontype.x04                             : o x05transaction                                 ? loandetailtransactiontype.x05                                 : loandetailtransactiontype.x06,     });
