'Declaration
Public Property ResourceType As Type

public Type ResourceType { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Type
The type that contains the resources for other localizable property values.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the DisplayAttribute attribute to set both localized and non-localized display values. A property named EmailAddress includes non-localized display values and a property named LastName includes localized display values that are retrieved from a resource type named DisplayResources.

Public Class Customer
  <Display(Name:="Email Address", Description:="An email address is needed to provide notifications about the order.")> _
  Public Property EmailAddress() As String
    'Implement Get and Set logic
  End Property

  <Display(ResourceType:=GetType(DisplayResources), Name:="LName", Description:="LNameDescription")> _
  Public Property LastName() As String
    'Implement Get and Set logic
  End Property
End Class

public class Customer
{
  [Display(Name = "Email Address", 
     Description = "An email address is needed to provide notifications about the order.")]
  public string EmailAddress { get; set; }

  [Display(ResourceType=typeof(DisplayResources), Name="LName", Description="LNameDescription")]
  public string LastName { get; set; }
}
