How to add a new line into Display Attribute, Name field

Question

I\'m working on an MVC3 application and am using data attributes for the display name fields on the screen. Below is a representative sample -

    [Required]
           


        

Answer 1

[Required]
[Display(Name = "Staff Id<br/>(format \"9999\")")]
[StringLength(10)]
[UIHint("StaffId")]
public string StaffId { get; set; }

and inside your StaffId.cshtml custom editor template:

@model string
@Html.Raw(ViewData.ModelMetadata.DisplayName)
@Html.TextBox("")

Answer 2

Just adding to @Darin-Dimitrov answer, it is important to use

@Html.Raw(your.property)

Instead of typical HTML helpers like

@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem=>item.property) -- will not work
