@Html.Label("YourProperty")

I wanted to make the above label as required. I know how to achieve that in @Html.LabelFor as below:

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.SelectedLocations.LocationList, true)

Could anyone please suggest how can I get the required property in @Html.Label? I just wanted to add a red asterisk in above label.

In general input fields would be marked as required, not static labels. – Stefan Jun 16 '17 at 14:11

Labels aren't form elements. They do not support being "required” – Fran Jun 16 '17 at 14:13
What would you be requiring on a label? It's a display element and not an input element - you can't require that someone sees something haha – Robert Petz Jun 16 '17 at 14:15
I just needed to put the red asterik mark infront of label – Gagandeep Singh Randhawa Jun 16 '17 at 14:20
@GagandeepSinghRandhawa the asterisk should generally be in front of the input that the label is referring to - the required attribute on the label will not generate that, you need to put it on the input itself. – Robert Petz Jun 16 '17 at 14:21
How can I get that. Could you please provide an example – Gagandeep Singh Randhawa Jun 16 '17 at 14:26

See the duplicate link i just added. You need to write a custom HtmlHelper that will read the required attribute of the model field. – Fran Jun 16 '17 at 16:02
