Hello! I have a localized application, and I am wondering if it is possible to have the DisplayName for a certain model property set from a Resource.

I'd like to do something like this:

public class MyModel {
  [Required]
  [DisplayName(Resources.Resources.labelForName)]
  public string name{ get; set; }
}

But I can't to it, as the compiler says: "An attribute argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or array creation expression of an attribute parameter type" :(

Are there any workarounds? I am outputting labels manually, but I need these for the validator output!
