Renaming Properties in the Service MetaData Class

07-04-2009 6:25 PM |

This must be so simple, but I just can't find it. How do I rename a property in the metadata class of the domain service, so that a DataForms displays a better field name? Shouldn't something like on of these work?

[Display("Status")
public int statusId;

or:

[Name("Status")
public int statusId;

or

[DisplayName("Status")
public int statusId;

etc...

 I tried using this:

[Description("Status")
public int statusId;

but the DataForm still shows 'statusId' as the field name.

Thanks,
Roger

If you want to add description than:

[Display(Name = "Status", Description = "Status description here")]
