Remarks

If a column maps the first time to Object in the interface, Visual Studio calls this method to get a more specific type of output to which this column can be mapped.

Provide this information through this method so that your database schema model can be represented in Visual Studio projects, where users can create and manipulate database objects that you have defined in your model.
