Question

In my users form I want to use the html.Labelfor helper, but instead of Model Property name of CatName, I would like Category Name Instead. I know I could put this in a , but I have to reuse the names over and over. Below is example.

Model Property:

public string CatName { get; set; }

VIEW:

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.CatName)  //Displays CatName , I want Category Name

Answer 1

You can use DataAnnotations

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

This is the preferred way.

You can also use the overload of LabelFor that takes a string for the label text

 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.CatName, "Category Name")
