    <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>You could just create a new class property for each of your object named "Title" or "Hint" and add the appropriate string value to them. Then get that property with MyObject.Title</p> <hr> <p>Interesting question. I would like to see an answer to this using attributes, but here are two methods I can think of:</p> <p><strong>Add an extension method to your objects</strong> This would require alot of repetitive code.</p> <pre><code>public static string GetTitle(this YourObject obj) { return "Title for object"; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Html Helper extension method</strong></p> <p>You would store the object titles in this helper method.</p> <pre><code>public static string GetObjectTitle(this HtmlHelper html, string type) { switch(type) { case "Object1": return "Title for object 1"; break; case "Object2": return "Title for object 2"; break; default: return "No titled specified for this object type"; break; } } </code></pre> <p>To call this method:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= Html.GetObjectTitle(Model.GetType()) %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Or in your example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= Html.TextBox("PostalCode", Model.PostalCode, new { watermark = "Postal Code", title = Html.GetObjectTitle(Model.GetType()) })%&gt; </code></pre> <p>I prefer the 2nd method because you have a place to store all the titles and you would need to write less code. </p> <p>However, I think adding an attribute to the class and creating a means to get that attribute would work a bit better.</p>

    1. COWhy would you use extension methods when you can just put the method right into the class, and call it directly?

    2. COThe case statement is worse. It breaks encapsulation by requiring you to define the message somewhere outside of the business object.

    3. COEither method would break "insert pedantic program design term" to a certain extent. I prefer the Case statement because it would place all the titles in one place, making future editing easier. Theres definitely better ways to do this, I just can't think of them. Thinking about it now, you could specify a "Title" property for each object, and depending on the way your app is setup, it might be the best thing.

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.
