在WCF RIA服务中使用DataAnnotations（DisplayColumn）

I have created an entity framework 4.0 (DB-First) model, added my partial classes and used DataAnnotations on them to have a perfect UI on the client.

我创建了一个实体框架4.0（DB-First）模型，添加了我的部分类，并在它们上使用DataAnnotations在客户端上拥有一个完美的UI。

I have some relations between my tables and used DisplayColumn on top my classes. e.g. I have a User class that has [DataColumn("UserName")] attribute on top of the class. And a Message class which has "public User Sender" which has [Include] attribute on top of the property.

我的表之间有一些关系，并在我的类上使用DisplayColumn。例如我有一个User类，它在类的顶部有[DataColumn（“UserName”）]属性。还有一个Message类，它有“public User Sender”，它在属性顶部有[Include]属性。

Also, I have used .Include("User") in my DomainService to load the User who's related to a message.

另外，我在我的DomainService中使用.Include（“User”）来加载与消息相关的用户。

But in my datagrid, I see User : (UserID) (UserID=Key property of User entity) instead of UserName that I have specified. I looked in the generated code in my SL project and it correctly decorated my User class with DisplayColumn attribute. But still, I cannot see UserName in my grid.

但在我的datagrid中，我看到User：（UserID）（UserID = User实体的Key属性）而不是我指定的UserName。我在SL项目中查看了生成的代码，并使用DisplayColumn属性正确地修饰了我的User类。但是，我仍然无法在我的网格中看到UserName。

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: Here's my question in code:

任何帮助将不胜感激。更新：这是我在代码中的问题：

As I have mentioned, Owner, UserName, MessageId, UserId have been defined in my auto-generated model. UserMeta class has nothing special.

正如我所提到的，在我自动生成的模型中定义了Owner，UserName，MessageId，UserId。 UserMeta类没什么特别的。

[MetadataType(typeof(MessageMeta))]
public partial class Message
{
}  

public class MessageMeta
{
 [Include()]
 [Display(Name = "Belongs to", Order = 4)]
 [Association("Message_User","MessageId","UserId",IsForeignKey =  true)]
 public virtual User Owner { get; set; }
}

[MetadataType(typeof(UserMeta))]
[DisplayColumn("UserName")]
public partial class User
{
}

In my DomainService:

在我的DomainService中：

public IQueryable<Message> GetMessages()
{
    return this.ObjectContext.Messages.Include("Owner");
}

At last, I had to use Reflection. For DataGrid:

最后，我不得不使用Reflection。对于DataGrid：

private void OnAutoGenerateColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
    {
        //Need to get an array, but should always just have a single DisplayColumnAttribute
        var atts = e.PropertyType.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayColumnAttribute),true);

        foreach (DisplayColumnAttribute d in atts)
        {
            DataGridTextColumn col = (DataGridTextColumn)e.Column;

            //Make sure that we always have the base path
            if(col.Binding.Path.Path!="")
            {
                col.Binding = new Binding()
                {
                    Path = new PropertyPath(col.Binding.Path.Path + "." + d.DisplayColumn)
                };
            }

            //Only do the first one, just in case we have more than one in metadata
            break;
        }

    }

And for Telerik RadGridView:

对于Telerik RadGridView：

var column = e.Column as GridViewDataColumn;
if (column == null)
{
    return;
}

// Need to get an array, but should always just have a single DisplayColumnAttribute  
var atts = column.DataType.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DisplayColumnAttribute), true);

foreach (DisplayColumnAttribute d in atts)
{
    // Make sure that we always have the base path
    if (column.DataMemberBinding.Path.Path != "")
    {
        column.DataMemberBinding = new Binding()
        {
            Path = new PropertyPath(column.DataMemberBinding.Path.Path + "." + d.DisplayColumn)
        };
     }
     // Only do the first one, just in case we have more than one in metadata
     break;
 }
