When generating a strongly-typed Index view for my model I always get the following:

<%= Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ }) %>

I am using a POCO class for use with our ORM. As I understand it when using LINQ to SQL the view code will know which field is the primary key.

Is there a way that I can an attribute to the property (or class) that will let the View Generator know that the ID property if the primary key?
