Question

Consider this class used for DB mapping.

[Bind()]
public class ActiveType
{

    [Key()]
    public int ID { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Navn")]
    public string Name
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public string Prefix { get; set; }
    public string Suffix { get; set; }

}

As you can see, I tried to use the Display annotation to make MVC use that name when it auto-generates entity-framework CRUD pages. However, it ignores it. How do I change this? Is it possible through annotations?

Answer 1

The example I provided actually worked, but not for auto-generated EF pages, where it would ignore it in some cases.
