    <p>I have downloaded the <a href="http://nuget.org/packages/MvcScaffolding" rel="nofollow">MVCScaffolding</a> nuget package within VS2010. I am trying to retrieve a [DisplayName data annotation from my model in order to use it within the index.cs.t4 template.</p> <p>This page <a href="http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2011/01/28/mvcscaffolding-one-to-many-relationships/" rel="nofollow">OneToMany Relationships</a> has shown me how to modify the index template in order to provide a link which will take me to the controller index for my child objects. Which in this case from emails to emailrecipients. The problem is i have called my controllers emailcontroller and emailrecipientscontroller rather than their rather less descriptive tables names which i would prefer to hide anyway. i have equally decorated the metadataobject which the t4 template uses(tbl_My_unwieldytablename_emailMetadata) with this displayname (emailrecipients) dataannotation and i was hoping i could modify the template in order to replace the name for the relation to use the displayname which is my controller name i.e.</p> <pre><code>[MetadataType(typeof(tbl_My_unwieldytablename_emailMetadata))] public partial class tbl_My_unwieldytablename_email { internal sealed class tbl_My_unwieldytablename_emailMetadata { [ScaffoldColumn(false)] [Required(ErrorMessage="id is required")] public Int32 id { get; set; } [DataType(DataType.Date)] public DateTime send_date { get; set; } [StringLength(255)] public String title { get; set; } [DataType(DataType.MultilineText)] public String message { get; set; } [StringLength(50)] public String author { get; set; } [StringLength(80)] [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)] public String author_email { get; set; } [DataType(DataType.MultilineText)] public String attachment { get; set; } [DataType(DataType.Date)] public DateTime created_date { get; set; } public Int32 batches { get; set; } [DataType(DataType.Date)] public DateTime complete_date { get; set; } [DisplayName("emailrecipients")] public EntityCollection&lt;tbl_My_unwieldytablename_email_recipients&gt; tbl_My_unwieldytablename_email_recipients { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Cheers Tim</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
