How to Use DisplayFor to Display Text from EF Core Data Annotation in MVC and Components


Question: #DisplayFor is not working in #MVC Asp.Net Core View and the #Component, what am I doing wrong?

I have my #Modal #Class defined as below:

 public sealed partial class CompositionQuestionaire
    {

        [Key]
        public int Id { get; set; }
       
        [Display(Name = "Have there been any changes in household composition in the last twelve months?")]
        public bool AnyChangesInLast12Months { get; set; }
}


And I am trying to render the Display Name as shown below:

<div class="col-6">
 @Html.DisplayFor(a => a.CompositionQuestionaire.AnyChangesInLast12Months)                              
</div>

The above-shown #DisplayFor @HTML Tag Helper in MVC is not working, what am I doing wrong?

Answer: Use the @Html.DisplayNameFor instead of DisplayFor, I hope this helps you.
