In the MVVM toolkit, is there a way to add a DisplayNameAttribute to the generated properties?

I have an observable property generated from a field, now I need to change its display name but since I only have the field in my class, I can't actually apply the attribute (property only). Is there a way to work around this?

Actually, I just noticed something similar is possible via the DisplayAttribute, although that one is sadly sealed, making it a bit harder to use. Any other option would still be appreciated.

You can use [property: DisplayName(...)] on the field to forward any attributes you need on the generated property 🙂

I thought so, but DisplayNameAttribute has AttributeUsage set to properties only, so you can't add it to the field, that was the issue I faced when originally attempting this.

You can if you use property:, just try it 😄

Oh, that is great, I didn't realize this was possible, thanks a lot 😊
