@cody.skidmore and @Mesfin:

You can create a partial class for your Model and add a metadata class to it. Then, you replicate your Model's properties in the metadata class and decorate them with your attributes.

Example:

[MetadataType(typeof(MyModelMetadata)]

public partial class MyModel

{

    public class MyModelMetadata

    {

        [DisplayName("My property 1")]

        [UIHint("SomeTemplate")]

        public object MyModelProp1 {get; set; }

        [DataType(DataTypes.PhoneNumber)]

        public object MyModelProp1 {get; set; }

}

BTW, thanks for the great screencast. I loved the interview style as well. I was confused between LabelFor and DisplayFor. Very clear now

Can someone provide a working video for this post? This one is broken!

Thanks!
