Bikesh Srivastava · Answer

accepted You could use the AdditionalMetadata attribute: [ UIHint ( DateTime )] [ AdditionalMetadata ( foo  bar )] public DateTime Date { get ; set ; } and in the template: @ViewData . ModelMetadata . AdditionalValues [ foo ] so if you wanted to pass an url: [ UIHint ( DateTime )] [ AdditionalMetadata ( controller  somecontroller )] [ AdditionalMetadata ( action  someaction )] [ AdditionalMetadata ( property  someproperty )] public DateTime Date { get ; set ; } and in your template: @{ var values = ViewData . ModelMetadata . AdditionalValues ; } script type = text/javascript > $ ( '.auto' ). autocomplete ({ source : function ( request  response ) { $ . ajax ({ url : '@Url.Action((string)values[action] (string)values[controller])'  dataType : json  data : { filter : request . term } success : function ( data ) { response ( $ . map ( eval ( data ) function ( item ) { return { label : item [ '@values[property]' ] } }) ); } }); } }); script >
