copied!<p>Here is the solution I ended up with in a separate assembly (called "Common" in my case): </p> <pre><code> [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method | AttributeTargets.Property | AttributeTargets.Event)] public class DisplayNameLocalizedAttribute : DisplayNameAttribute { public DisplayNameLocalizedAttribute(Type resourceManagerProvider, string resourceKey) : base(Utils.LookupResource(resourceManagerProvider, resourceKey)) { } } </code></pre> <p>with the code to look up the resource: </p> <pre><code> internal static string LookupResource(Type resourceManagerProvider, string resourceKey) { foreach (PropertyInfo staticProperty in resourceManagerProvider.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic)) { if (staticProperty.PropertyType == typeof(System.Resources.ResourceManager)) { System.Resources.ResourceManager resourceManager = (System.Resources.ResourceManager)staticProperty.GetValue(null, null); return resourceManager.GetString(resourceKey); } } return resourceKey; // Fallback with the key name } </code></pre> <p>Typical usage would be: </p> <pre><code>class Foo { [Common.DisplayNameLocalized(typeof(Resources.Resource), "CreationDateDisplayName"), Common.DescriptionLocalized(typeof(Resources.Resource), "CreationDateDescription")] public DateTime CreationDate { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>What is pretty much ugly as I use literal strings for resource key. Using a constant there would mean to modify Resources.Designer.cs which is probably not a good idea. </p> <p>Conclusion: I am not happy with that, but I am even less happy about Microsoft who can't provide anything useful for such a common task.</p>
