Get DisplayAttribute attribute from PropertyInfo

class SomeModel
{
    [Display(Name = "Quantity Required")]
    public int Qty { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Cost per Item")]
    public int Cost { get; set; }
}

I'm trying to map the model into a list of { PropertyName, DisplayName } pairs, but I've got stuck.

var pr开发者_如何学JAVAoperties 
    = typeof(SomeModel)
        .GetProperties()
        .Select(p => new 
            {
                p.Name,
                p.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayAttribute),
                              false).Single().ToString()
            }
        );

The above doesn't compile and I'm not sure it's the right approach anyway, but hopefully you can see the intent. Any pointers? Thanks

In this case you need to define specific property names for anonymous type.

var properties = typeof(SomeModel).GetProperties()
    .Where(p => p.IsDefined(typeof(DisplayAttribute), false))
    .Select(p => new
        {
            PropertyName = p.Name,
            DisplayName = p.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayAttribute),
                false).Cast<DisplayAttribute>().Single().Name
        });
