DisplayName metadata does not show up on view

Question

How will I show the correct DsiplayName on my view considering the following model.

<%@ Page Title=\"\" Language=\"C#\         


        

Answer 1

You View is strongly typed to Project.Models.RegisterViewModel, however you are adding your Data Annotations to the User Object.

Generally you would have:

public class RegisterViewModel
{
    [Required]
    [DisplayName("Email Login")]
    [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
    [Email(ErrorMessage = "Invalid Email")]
    public String Email { get; set; }

    .....
    other properties
}
