Question

Is it possible to access the display name of a parameter in the controller? for example, say I defined a parameter as

public class Class1
{
  [DisplayName("First Name")]
  public string firstname { get; set; }
}

I now want to be able to access the display name of firstname in my controller. Something like

string name = Model.Class1.firstName.getDisplayName();

Is there a method like getDisplayName() that I can use to get the display name?

Found the answer at this link. I created an Html helper class, added its namespace to my view web.config and used it in my controller. All described in the link
