}

Below is my code

public class CustomAction : CodeActivity
    {

        [Input("Entity Metadata Id")]
        public InArgument<string> MetadataId { get; set; }

        [Output("Entity Details")]

            IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();

            var  output= new EntityInfo();

             //Get the Entity Metadata from the entityName
            var retrieveEntityRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest

            };

            var entityResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)orgService.Execute(retrieveEntityRequest);
            var entityMetadata = entityResponse.EntityMetadata;

             // Retrieving cases using fetchXml  
            var rowCount = 0;
            var result = orgService.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(entityCountXml));
            foreach (var c in result.Entities)
            {

            var customColumns = entityMetadata.Attributes.Count(s => s.IsCustomAttribute != null && (bool) s.IsCustomAttribute);
            var systemColumns = entityMetadata.Attributes.Count(s => s.IsCustomAttribute != null && !(bool)s.IsCustomAttribute);

        }
    }
