DisplayAttribute.GetGroupName Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Retrieves the localized or non-localized value of the GroupName property.

Namespace:  System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations
Assembly:  System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations (in System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetGroupName As String
public string GetGroupName()

Return Value

Type: System.String
The localized value for the group name when the ResourceType property is specified and the GroupName property represents a resource name; otherwise, the non-localized value specified in the GroupName property.

Remarks

Do not use the get accessor of the GroupName property to retrieve the text to display in your Silverlight application. Instead, use the GetGroupName method to retrieve the group name to display. The GetGroupName method returns either the literal non-localized string or the localized string when a resource type has been specified.
