 Hello. I want to customize Column names and validation errors.

 

I tried the following:

 

It doesnt show errors but I cant see any change on the page.

 

    [MetadataType(typeof(WarrantyMetaData))]
    public partial class Warranty
    {

    }

  
    public class WarrantyMetaData
    {
        public object id { get; set; }
       
        [Required(ErrorMessage="Este campo es Requerido")]
        [DisplayName("Tiempo de la Garantia")]
        public object time { get; set; }

    }

If this doesn't work you need to check and see if the entity you are extending (Warranty) is in a namespace and add that appropriately. My favorite test is to remove "partial" from "class Warranty". This SHOULD generate a compile time error if your class is named correctly. If you don't get a compile error then go check and see if your data model objects are in a namespace or you mis-spelled it.

 That wasnt the error, the problem is that the property was Time and I wrote time on the metadata class.

 

Thanks!!

In theory, if we see a property name in your metadata class that we don't recognize, you should get an explicit error.  I don't know why that didn't happen.  Does it complain if you add a random property named Foo in WarrantyMetaData?
