Should I create an attribute to make camel-cased table names, spaced?

Question

I want to customize the headings of my tables outputted in a dynamic data website. Specifically, if a column has a name like "PhonebookManager", I want it to display, "Phonebook Manager" (note the space). Where should I be looking to get this done?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Use the DisplayName attribute to modify the text that is displayed for the column. If you are looking to have these attributes automatically created for you, take a look at this blog post. It doesn't do exactly that, but it gets you some of the way there. (start in the Global.asax.cs file - look at lines 81-86)
