Retrieve Header Text from Data Annotations on Model

[Mike McCaughan]

One thing that's nice about the built-in HTML Helpers like LabelFor() is that it pulls its text from the Display() Data Annotation attribute if supplied. I had assumed that the Grid would do that for the HeaderText, but I'm not seeing that happening. Is there an easy way of making that happen, or shall I create a Feature Request for it?

Hi Haasan, 

  

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products. 

 

Grid MVC will support Data annotation attributes. Please refer to the following code snippets: 

 

[EditableOrder.cs] 

public class EditableOrder 

{ 

// Validation set to the orderId and customerId 

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Order ID is required.")] 

public int OrderID 

{ 

get; 

set; 

} 

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Customer  ID is required.")] 

[StringLength(5, ErrorMessage = "Customer ID must be 5 characters.")] 

public string CustomerID 

{ 

get; 

set; 

} 

.. . . 

} 

 

 

Add the following script files to your layout.cs within the head tag. Please refer to the following code snippets: 

 

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script> 

  

       <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js")" type="text/javascript"></script> 

 

 

We have prepared the sample for your requirement and the same can be downloaded from the following link:
