Retrieving an Entity Property's display name
Posted: 27 Nov 09 10:13 AM
|
I'm attempting to populate a drop-down list with some integer properties of an entity.
I've done this with the .ToString() property names, but what I'd like to do is have the list items show the property's Display name/Pretty name to the user, with the value behind being the actual property name.
So, does anyone know how to programmatically get the display name of a property (assume that actual property has been identified already).
Thanks!  |

The properties for an entity will have the EntityResourcesDisplayName attribute. This attribute will have a DisplayName value. Basically that attribute allows you to read the DisplayName value that is stored in the resources for the assembly. That is the right way to do it.
Alternatively, you could also just read the value right from the resources on the Sage.Entity.Interfaces.dll. The resource is Sage.Entity.Interfaces.EntityResources and the values are all all "EntityName.Property.DisplayName", so for the AccountName property you'd look for "Account.AccountName.DisplayName".
