Question

So, I am having a hard time getting this to work. I am trying to add some typographic HTML codes to some labels I have strongly typed to my model.

<%: Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name) %>

I am using data annotations to customize the DisplayName of the property.

[DisplayName("Your friend’s name")]
public string Name { get; set; }

However the actual code is being displayed for the label:

Your friend’s name

I have also tried just using the old write method:

<%= Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name) %>

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

There seems to be no way to do this. I simple used the actual rendered codes and it displayed fine.

[DisplayName("Your friend’s name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
