How to change the DisplayName of a table in ASP.Net Dynamic Data

Question

I'm new to Dynamic Data. I want to change the DisplayName of tables in Default.aspx page so I can set meaning full names for them. Also I want to change column names of tables when I List, Edit and Insert mode. How can I do that in c# language?

Answer 1

You can do this by setting the DisplayName (from System.ComponentModel) attribute on each table. For this you'll need a partial class for each table that you're scaffolding with Dynamic Data e.g.

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.ComponentModel;

...

[ScaffoldTable(true)]
[DisplayName("Northwind Products")]
partial class Product
{
}

renders...
