Dynamic Display Attribute #1038

Hi Hilkan -

This is not something directly related to Abp but I would like some guidance on it. I would like your input in designing my core layer where in the display attribute retrieves data dynamically from the database. Some thing like the below :

[Display(Name = "get data from database based on some query")]

Is this a good idea ?

The whole idea is I would like to provide flexibility to my users to change the display name of the database columns based on their wish. So any guidance for implementation would be helpful.

Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,

    It can be good if you can create such a custom Display attribute. Alternatively, you can use localization since as you know localization texts also can be modified by users on UI.

    This is why I respect you and this forum. I already knew what Languages is capable of doing but it completely missed out from my mind. Thanks for showing the right direction. I don't want to get fancy and implement something which is already available in Abp.
