Foreach of a Class properties and display in the View

Question

I have a view on Asp.net mvc as follows

var Maquina = Model.ListMaquinas;

@Html.DisplayNameFor(x => Maquina.Property1 )
@Html.DisplayNameFor(x => Maquina.Property2 )
...
@Html.DisplayNameFor(x => Maquina.Property100 )

Everything works fine.

But as I have many fields I decided to make a foreach in the following way:

var Maquinas = Model.ListaMaquinas;

@foreach( System.Reflection.PropertyInfo item in Maquinas.GetType().GetProperties())
{
    @Html.DisplayNameFor(x => Maquinas.GetType().GetProperty(item.Name) )
}

But so Displaynamefor is not working I’m missing at some point? Could someone help me?

Answer 1

An example to clarify your doubt:

Class

public class People
{    
    public int Id { get; set; }        
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

View:

@model WebApplication1.Models.People
@foreach(var property in Model.GetType().GetProperties())
{
    @Html.DisplayName(property.Name) @Html.Display(property.Name)
    <br />
}

whereas:

• DisplayName will print the text contained in the value of Name
• Display will print the value of this property relative to the value of Name

Observing: avoid using this as a rule because, reflection often makes your code slower and in some cases makes it also unnecessary, so every care is little.
