This is not a question. You say: "I'm using this and that" and "how can I use it". What "it", if you already using this and that..?

It is usually not a good idea to use reserved words as fieldnames, not in .NET, not in SQL and probably not in any language. Try calling the field a synonym for Constraint, such as Limitation or Constriction.
If you really want to use it it might work by putting `backticks` around the fieldname, like this `Constraint`. In SQL2008 it would work with [brackets] like [Constraint].
