asp.net-mvc 以强类型方式获取属性的 [DisplayName] 属性

Get [DisplayName] attribute of a property in strongly-typed way

提问by artvolk

Good day!

再会！

I've such method to get [DisplayName]attribute value of a property (which is attached directly or using [MetadataType]attribute). I use it in rare cases where I need to get [DisplayName]in controller code.

我有这样的方法来获取[DisplayName]属性的属性值（直接附加或使用[MetadataType]属性）。我在需要[DisplayName]输入控制器代码的极少数情况下使用它。

public static class MetaDataHelper
{
    public static string GetDisplayName(Type dataType, string fieldName)
    {       
        // First look into attributes on a type and it's parents
        DisplayNameAttribute attr;
        attr = (DisplayNameAttribute)dataType.GetProperty(fieldName).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayNameAttribute), true).SingleOrDefault();

        // Look for [MetadataType] attribute in type hierarchy
        // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1910532/attribute-isdefined-doesnt-see-attributes-applied-with-metadatatype-class
        if (attr == null)
        {
            MetadataTypeAttribute metadataType = (MetadataTypeAttribute)dataType.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MetadataTypeAttribute), true).FirstOrDefault();
            if (metadataType != null)
            {
                var property = metadataType.MetadataClassType.GetProperty(fieldName);
                if (property != null)
                {
                    attr = (DisplayNameAttribute)property.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayNameAttribute), true).SingleOrDefault();
                }
            }
        }
        return (attr != null) ? attr.DisplayName : String.Empty;
    }
}

It works, but it has two drawbacks:

它有效，但有两个缺点：

• It requires field name as string
• It doesn't work if I want to get property of a property

• 它需要字段名称作为字符串
• 如果我想获得财产的财产，则行不通

Is it possible to overcome both problems using lambdas, something like we have in ASP.NET MVC:

是否可以使用 lambda 来克服这两个问题，就像我们在 ASP.NET MVC 中所遇到的那样：

Html.LabelFor(m => m.Property.Can.Be.Very.Complex.But.Strongly.Typed);  

Update

更新

Here is an updated and checked version from BuildStartedsolution. It is modified to use DisplayNameattribute (you can modify back to Displayattribute if you use it). And fixed minor bugs to get attribute of nested properties.

这是来自BuildStarted解决方案的更新和检查版本。修改为使用DisplayName属性（Display如果使用可以修改回属性）。并修复了获取嵌套属性属性的小错误。

public static string GetDisplayName<TModel>(Expression<Func<TModel, object>> expression)
{
    Type type = typeof(TModel);

    string propertyName = null;
    string[] properties = null;
    IEnumerable<string> propertyList;
    //unless it's a root property the expression NodeType will always be Convert
    switch (expression.Body.NodeType)
    {
        case ExpressionType.Convert:
        case ExpressionType.ConvertChecked:
            var ue = expression.Body as UnaryExpression;
            propertyList = (ue != null ? ue.Operand : null).ToString().Split(".".ToCharArray()).Skip(1); //don't use the root property
            break;
        default:
            propertyList = expression.Body.ToString().Split(".".ToCharArray()).Skip(1);
            break;
    }

    //the propert name is what we're after
    propertyName = propertyList.Last();
    //list of properties - the last property name
    properties = propertyList.Take(propertyList.Count() - 1).ToArray(); //grab all the parent properties

    foreach (string property in properties)
    {
        PropertyInfo propertyInfo = type.GetProperty(property);
        type = propertyInfo.PropertyType;
    }

    DisplayNameAttribute attr;
    attr = (DisplayNameAttribute)type.GetProperty(propertyName).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayNameAttribute), true).SingleOrDefault();

    // Look for [MetadataType] attribute in type hierarchy
    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1910532/attribute-isdefined-doesnt-see-attributes-applied-with-metadatatype-class
    if (attr == null)
    {
        MetadataTypeAttribute metadataType = (MetadataTypeAttribute)type.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MetadataTypeAttribute), true).FirstOrDefault();
        if (metadataType != null)
        {
            var property = metadataType.MetadataClassType.GetProperty(propertyName);
            if (property != null)
            {
                attr = (DisplayNameAttribute)property.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayNameAttribute), true).SingleOrDefault();
            }
        }
    }
    return (attr != null) ? attr.DisplayName : String.Empty;
}

There are two ways to do this:

有两种方法可以做到这一点：

Models.Test test = new Models.Test();
string DisplayName = test.GetDisplayName(t => t.Name);

string DisplayName = Helpers.GetDisplayName<Models.Test>(t => t.Name);

The first one works by virtue of writing a generic extension method to any TModel (which is all types). This means it will be available on any object and not just your model. Not really recommended but nice because of it's concise syntax.

第一个通过为任何 TModel（所有类型）编写通用扩展方法来工作。这意味着它将可用于任何对象，而不仅仅是您的模型。不是真的推荐但很好，因为它的语法简洁。

The second method requires you to pass in the Type of the model it is - which you're already doing but as a parameter instead. This method is required to define type via Generics because Func expects it.

第二种方法要求您传入模型的类型 - 您已经在这样做，但作为参数代替。这个方法需要通过泛型定义类型，因为 Func 需要它。

Here are the methods for you to check out.

以下是您检查的方法。

Static extension method to all objects

所有对象的静态扩展方法

public static string GetDisplayName<TModel, TProperty>(this TModel model, Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression) {

    Type type = typeof(TModel);

    MemberExpression memberExpression = (MemberExpression)expression.Body;
    string propertyName = ((memberExpression.Member is PropertyInfo) ? memberExpression.Member.Name : null);

    // First look into attributes on a type and it's parents
    DisplayAttribute attr;
    attr = (DisplayAttribute)type.GetProperty(propertyName).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayAttribute), true).SingleOrDefault();

    // Look for [MetadataType] attribute in type hierarchy
    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1910532/attribute-isdefined-doesnt-see-attributes-applied-with-metadatatype-class
    if (attr == null) {
        MetadataTypeAttribute metadataType = (MetadataTypeAttribute)type.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MetadataTypeAttribute), true).FirstOrDefault();
        if (metadataType != null) {
            var property = metadataType.MetadataClassType.GetProperty(propertyName);
            if (property != null) {
                attr = (DisplayAttribute)property.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayNameAttribute), true).SingleOrDefault();
            }
        }
    }
    return (attr != null) ? attr.Name : String.Empty;


}

Signature for type specific method - same code as above just different call

类型特定方法的签名 - 与上面相同的代码只是不同的调用

public static string GetDisplayName<TModel>(Expression<Func<TModel, object>> expression) { }

The reason you can't just use Something.GetDisplayName(t => t.Name)on it's own is because in the Razor engine you're actually passing an instantiated object of HtmlHelper<TModel>which is why the first method requires an instantiated object - This is only required for the compiler to infer what types belong to which generic name.

你不能单独使用Something.GetDisplayName(t => t.Name)它的原因是因为在 Razor 引擎中你实际上传递了一个实例化的对象，HtmlHelper<TModel>这就是为什么第一个方法需要一个实例化的对象 - 这只是编译器推断属于什么类型的需要哪个通用名称。

Update with recursive properties

使用递归属性更新

public static string GetDisplayName<TModel>(Expression<Func<TModel, object>> expression) {

    Type type = typeof(TModel);

    string propertyName = null;
    string[] properties = null;
    IEnumerable<string> propertyList;
    //unless it's a root property the expression NodeType will always be Convert
    switch (expression.Body.NodeType) {
        case ExpressionType.Convert:
        case ExpressionType.ConvertChecked:
            var ue = expression.Body as UnaryExpression;
            propertyList = (ue != null ? ue.Operand : null).ToString().Split(".".ToCharArray()).Skip(1); //don't use the root property
            break;
        default:
            propertyList = expression.Body.ToString().Split(".".ToCharArray()).Skip(1);
            break;
    }

    //the propert name is what we're after
    propertyName = propertyList.Last();
    //list of properties - the last property name
    properties = propertyList.Take(propertyList.Count() - 1).ToArray(); //grab all the parent properties

    Expression expr = null;
    foreach (string property in properties) {
        PropertyInfo propertyInfo = type.GetProperty(property);
        expr = Expression.Property(expr, type.GetProperty(property));
        type = propertyInfo.PropertyType;
    }

    DisplayAttribute attr;
    attr = (DisplayAttribute)type.GetProperty(propertyName).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayAttribute), true).SingleOrDefault();

    // Look for [MetadataType] attribute in type hierarchy
    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1910532/attribute-isdefined-doesnt-see-attributes-applied-with-metadatatype-class
    if (attr == null) {
        MetadataTypeAttribute metadataType = (MetadataTypeAttribute)type.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MetadataTypeAttribute), true).FirstOrDefault();
        if (metadataType != null) {
            var property = metadataType.MetadataClassType.GetProperty(propertyName);
            if (property != null) {
                attr = (DisplayAttribute)property.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayNameAttribute), true).SingleOrDefault();
            }
        }
    }
    return (attr != null) ? attr.Name : String.Empty;

I created a helper method using ModelMetadata like @Daniel mentioned and I thought I'd share it:

我使用提到的@Daniel 之类的 ModelMetadata 创建了一个辅助方法，我想我会分享它：

public static string GetDisplayName<TModel, TProperty>(
      this TModel model

{
    return ModelMetadata.FromLambdaExpression<TModel, TProperty>(
        expression,
        new ViewDataDictionary<TModel>(model)
        ).DisplayName;
}

Example Usage:

示例用法：

Models:

Models：

public class MySubObject
{
    [DisplayName("Sub-Awesome!")]
    public string Sub { get; set; }

    public MySubObject Prop { get; set; }
}

Use:

Use：

HelperNamespace.GetDisplayName(Model, m => m.Prop) // "Awesome!"

Just do this:

只需这样做：

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;

namespace yournamespace
{
    public static class ExtensionMethods
    {
        public static string GetDisplayName(this PropertyInfo prop)
        {
            if (prop.CustomAttributes == null || prop.CustomAttributes.Count() == 0)
                return prop.Name;

            var displayNameAttribute = prop.CustomAttributes.Where(x => x.AttributeType == typeof(DisplayNameAttribute)).FirstOrDefault();

            if (displayNameAttribute == null || displayNameAttribute.ConstructorArguments == null || displayNameAttribute.ConstructorArguments.Count == 0)
                return prop.Name;

            return displayNameAttribute.ConstructorArguments[0].Value.ToString() ?? prop.Name;
        }
    }
}

Example as requested:

要求的示例：

var props = typeof(YourType).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance).Where(p => p.CanRead);

var propFriendlyNames = props.Select(x => x.GetDisplayName());

I found another nice code snippet here, and I have slightly modified it for 'DisplayName' purpose

我在这里找到了另一个不错的代码片段，为了“DisplayName”的目的，我稍微修改了它

    public static string GetDisplayName<TSource, TProperty>(Expression<Func<TSource, TProperty>> expression)
    {
        var attribute = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(((MemberExpression)expression.Body).Member, typeof(DisplayNameAttribute)) as DisplayNameAttribute;

        if (attribute == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException($"Expression '{expression}' doesn't have DisplayAttribute");
        }

        return attribute.DisplayName;
    }

回答by Bosken85

I totally agree with the solution BuildStarted provided. The only thing i would change is that the ExtensionsMethode does not support translations. To support this is simple minor change is needed. I would have put this in the comments but i don't have enough points to do so. Look for the last line in the method.

我完全同意 BuildStarted 提供的解决方案。我唯一要改变的是 ExtensionsMethode 不支持翻译。为了支持这一点，需要进行简单的小改动。我会把它放在评论中，但我没有足够的积分来这样做。查找方法中的最后一行。

I make a Little change is you are using resources to get the DisplayName
