Since CSLA.NET 3.5 we have the PropertyInfo.FriendlyName property.

In data binding PropertyDescriptor.DisplayName is used to extract the display name for e.g. grid controls to use.

It seems like that it would be a good fit if CSLA.NET could pass on the FriendlyName as the DisplayName for the property descriptor.

What do you think Rocky? Smile [:)]

Thank you,
Patrick

It isn't as easy as it might appear, because the base classes don't currently implement custom type descriptors, and I think that'd be necessary to provide that information.

But I'll add it to the wish list: http://www.lhotka.net/cslabugs/edit_bug.aspx?id=180
