POIs there a data annotation I can use to prevent a property from appearing in my views?
text
Body
copied!<p>The model classes are generated, using T4 templates, from an EF entity model. I have partial model classes whose sole purpose is to add a <code>[MetadataType(typeof(xxxMetdata))]</code> attribute to the model classes. Last, I have a class (xxxMetadata) which contains my data annotations (display names, formatting,etc.). A typical model is named TestABC123 and its metadata class, is named TestABC123Metadata</p> <p>How do I annotate my metadata class to prevent a specific property from being generated / appearing in my CRUD views? I know I could delete the properties after the views have been generated but I'd rather the properties just not be generated in the first place.</p> <p>I'm using MVC 4 RC with EF. </p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Update 1 - </p> <p>Here is my partial class...</p> <pre><code>namespace XXX.Web.Models { [MetadataType(typeof(TestAbcMetadata))] public partial class TestAbc { } } </code></pre> <p>Here is my metadata class...</p> <pre><code>namespace XXX.Web.Models { using System.ComponentModel; public partial class TestAbcMetadata { [ScaffoldColumn(false)] public int Id { get; set; } [ScaffoldColumn(false)] public int TestTypeId { get; set; } [DisplayName("Visit Number")] [Required] public int VisitId { get; set; } } } </code></pre> <p>I tried adding <code>[ScaffoldColumn(false)]</code> to one of the properties in a metadata class but that property still appears in the generated view code. Thoughts?</p>
