    public class EmployeeMD {  
        [Display(Name = "Last Name", Order = -9,   
            Prompt = "Enter Last Name", Description="Emp Last Name")]

        public object Employee1 { get; set; }  
    }

<MetadataType(GetType(EmployeeMD))>  _  
Public Class Employee  

    Public Class EmployeeMD  

        <Display(Name:="Last Name", Order:=-9, _  
           Prompt:="Enter Last Name", Description:="Emp Last Name")>  _  
        Public Property LastName As Object  
        End Property  

        <Display(Name:="Manager", AutoGenerateFilter:=false)>  _  
        Public Property Employee1 As Object

    End Class  
End Class  

Remarks

Do not use this property to get the value of the AutoGenerateFilter property. Use the GetAutoGenerateFilter method instead.

Setting this property overrides the default behavior for specifying which columns are included as filters.
