I have a model: 

public class TestModel {
  [Display(Name = "Date")]
  public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}

with Html.LabelFor helper method in Test.cshtml page

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Date )

and use this page with 2 MVC action methods: Create and Update. Example:

public virtual ViewResult Create() {
 return View("Test");
}

public virtual ViewResult Update() {
 return View("Test");
}

and I want to display @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Date ) with Create page: "Date" and Update page: "Update Date" . I know if the normal way of MVC3 can't do this. I hope your ideal can edit Html.LabelFor hepler method or anything way to bind data to Html.LabelFor in action methods on the controller

Adding a hiddenFor field will bind the data to your Model.

@Html.HiddenFor(m=>m.Date);

For override, please just look this answer

you can override editorfor like this How can I override the @Html.LabelFor template? but I think you can do it more easily with ViewBag:

public virtual ViewResult Create() {
 ViewBag.Title = "Create";
 return View("Test");
}

public virtual ViewResult Update() {
 ViewBag.Title = "Update";
 return View("Test");
}

in view:

@string.format("{0} Date" , ViewBag.Title )

  • Thank for your answer. However, my project doesn't use ViewBag. Have you more ideal about bind data to Html.LabelFor in action methods on the controller (can use custom helper to override it). Note: only on the controller, NOT bind data on Razor view. – Hau Le Apr 27 '13 at 17:20
