    <p>You could use the <code>this.ViewData.ModelMetadata.Properties</code> collection and call the <code>GetDisplayName</code> method to generate the header cell content. We do this generically in our code to render an arbitrary model as a table.</p> <p>Edit: To expand on this, I use a basic model that represents a table and only a table. I have 3 classes defined. I have a <code>TableRowCell' class, a</code>TableRow' class (which is essentially a collection of <code>TableRowCell</code> objects) and a <code>Table</code> class.</p> <pre><code>public class Table { public Table(String name) { this.Name = name; this.ContentRows = new List&lt;TableRow&gt;(); this.HeaderRow = new TableRow(); this.FooterRow = new TableRow(); } public IList&lt;TableRow&gt; ContentRows { get; private set; } public TableRow FooterRow { get; private set; } public TableRow HeaderRow { get; private set; } public String Name { get; private set; } } </code></pre> <p>When I have a view model that contains a collection of objects that I want to display in a table I call first an <code>HtmlHelper</code> extension that converts that collection into a <code>Table</code> object. Inside that method I iterate over a call to <code>ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(null, typeof(TModel)).Properties..Where(item =&gt; item.ShowForDisplay)</code> to get a collection of metadata objects used to generate the header cells. I then iterate over the collection of items and call <code>ModelMetadataProviders.Current.GetMetadataForType(() =&gt; item, typeof(TModel)).Properties..Where(item =&gt; item.ShowForDisplay)</code> to get a collection of metadata objects used to generate the content cells.</p> <p>Technically, my <code>HtmlHelper</code> extension method actually returns a <code>TableBuilder</code> object which will has a method called <code>Render</code> on it which generates the html. That setup has served me well so far.</p>

    1. COHow would you do this for the type generic type in an IEnumerable? I.E for IEnumerable<Row>, how do I get the metadata for Row?

    3. COExcellent, the `ModelMetadataProvers.Current.GetMetadataForType` method was just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing your solution.

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.
