Answer 1

LabelFor is an extension method (static) and therefore cannot be overridden. You'd need to create your own Html Helper Extension method to achieve what you require.

Answer 2

I expanded upon balealexandre's answer and added in the ability to specify HTML to include both before and after your label text. I added a bunch of method overloads and comments. I hope this helps folks!

Also snagged information from here: Html inside label using Html helper

namespace System.Web.Mvc.Html
{
    public static class LabelExtensions
    {
        /// <summary>Creates a Label with custom Html before the label text.  Only starting Html is provided.</summary>
        /// <param name="startHtml">Html to preempt the label text.</param>

        {
            return LabelFor(html, expression, startHtml, null, new RouteValueDictionary("new {}"));
        }

        /// <summary>Creates a Label with custom Html before the label text.  Starting Html and a single Html attribute is provided.</summary>

        {
            return LabelFor(html, expression, startHtml, null, new RouteValueDictionary(htmlAttributes));
        }

            //Use the DisplayName or PropertyName for the metadata if available.  Otherwise default to the htmlFieldName provided by the user.

            //Create the new label.
            TagBuilder tag = new TagBuilder("label");

            //Add the specified Html attributes
            tag.MergeAttributes(htmlAttributes);

            //Specify what property the label is tied to.
            tag.Attributes.Add("for", html.ViewContext.ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(htmlFieldName));

            //Run through the various iterations of null starting or ending Html text.
            if (startHtml == null && endHtml == null) tag.InnerHtml = labelText;
            else if (startHtml != null && endHtml == null) tag.InnerHtml = string.Format("{0}{1}", startHtml(null).ToHtmlString(), labelText);
            else if (startHtml == null && endHtml != null) tag.InnerHtml = string.Format("{0}{1}", labelText, endHtml(null).ToHtmlString());
            else tag.InnerHtml = string.Format("{0}{1}{2}", startHtml(null).ToHtmlString(), labelText, endHtml(null).ToHtmlString());

            return MvcHtmlString.Create(tag.ToString());
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

You'd do this by creating your own HTML helper.

http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/creating-custom-html-helpers-cs

You can view the code for LabelFor<> by downloading the source for ASP.Net MVC and modify that as a custom helper.
