displayattribute

I have this Enum (Notebook.cs): public enum Notebook : byte { [Display(Name = "Notebook HP")] NotebookHP, [Display(Name = "Notebook Dell")] NotebookDell } Also this property in my class (TIDepartment.cs): public Notebook Notebook { get; set; } It's working perfectly, I just have one "problem": I created an EnumDDLFor and it's showing the name I setted in DisplayAttribute, with spaces, but the object doesn't receive that name in DisplayAttribute, receives the Enum name (what is correct), so my question is: Is there a way to receive the name with spaces which one I configured in DisplayAttribute

According to the documentation : The runtime doesn’t look up localized strings for non-validation attributes. In the code above, “Email” (from [Display(Name = "Email")]) will not be localized. I'm looking for a way to localize text in DisplayAttribute. Any suggestions to do it in a proper way(s)? You can set the ResourceType on the DisplayAttribute which can be used to localize your text. Add a resource .resx file to your project e.g. MyResources.resx , and add a resource for your field: Then reference the name of the field and the MyResources type in your DisplayAttribute [Display(Name =

The metadata attributes for model properties in MVC 3 (like [Range], [Display], [Required] require the type of a Resource as a parameter, where the ResourceType is the type of the generated code-behind class of a .resx file. [Display(Name = "Phone", ResourceType = typeof(MyResources))] public string Phone { get; set; } Because I don't have .resx files, such a class does not exist. How can I use the model attributes with a custom resource

What is difference between DisplayName attribute and Display attribute in ASP.NET MVC? Spock They both give you the same results but the key difference I see is that you cannot specify a ResourceType in DisplayName attribute. For an example in MVC 2, you had to subclass the DisplayName attribute to provide resource via localization. Display attribute (new in MVC3 and .NET4) supports ResourceType overload as an "out of the box" property. Darin Dimitrov DisplayName sets the DisplayName in the model metadata. For example: [DisplayName("foo")] public string MyProperty { get; set; } and if you use
