<p>I'm trying to verify if a schema matches the objects I'm initializing.</p>

<p>Is there a way to get the TableName of a class other than simply reflecting the class name?</p>

<p>I am using some class with explicit TableNames</p>

<p>Edit: using Joe's solution I added the case where you don't specify the table name, it could probably use a constraint</p>

<pre><code>public string find_table_name(object obj)
{
        object[] attribs = obj.GetType().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(Castle.ActiveRecord.ActiveRecordAttribute), false);

        if (attribs != null)
        {
            ActiveRecordAttribute attrib = (Castle.ActiveRecord.ActiveRecordAttribute) attribs[0];
            if (attrib.Table != null)
                return attrib.Table;
            return obj.GetType().Name;
        }
    return null;
}
</code></pre>

If you have something like the following:
```
```
[ActiveRecord(Table = "NewsMaster")]
public class Article
{
    [PrimaryKey(Generator = PrimaryKeyType.Identity)]
    public int NewsId { get; set; }

    [Property(Column = "NewsHeadline")]
    public string Headline { get; set; }

    [Property(Column = "EffectiveStartDate")]
    public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }

    [Property(Column = "EffectiveEndDate")]
    public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }

    [Property]
    public string NewsBlurb { get; set; }
}
```
```
This will get you the table name:
```
```
[Test]
    public void Can_get_table_name()
    {
        var attribs = typeof(Article).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(Castle.ActiveRecord.ActiveRecordAttribute), false);

        if (attribs != null)
        {
            var attrib = (Castle.ActiveRecord.ActiveRecordAttribute) attribs[0];
            Assert.AreEqual("NewsMaster", attrib.Table);
        }
    }
```
```
