asp.net mvc - Showing Different fields in EditorForModel vs. DisplayForModel modes in MVC2

Question

I have a viewmodel that has an int StateID field and a string StateName field like so:

public class DepartmentViewModel : BaseViewModel, IModelWithId
{
    // only show in edit mode
    public int StateId { get; set; }

    // only show in display mode
    public string StateName { get; set; }
}

I have a read only view that uses DisplayForModel and an update view that uses EditorForModel. I want the DisplayForModel view to show the StateName property, and the EditorForModel view use the StateID property (I am actually rendering a dropdownlist based on this).

I have not been able to figure out how to decorate my viewmodel properties to create this behavior.

Make the attribute inherit IMetadataAware instead. That way you don't need to build your own DataAnnotationsModelMetadataProvider.

The new attribute would become something like:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = true)]
public sealed class RenderModeAttribute : Attribute, IMetadataAware
{
    public RenderMode RenderMode { get; set; }

    public RenderModeAttribute(RenderMode renderMode)
    {
        RenderMode = renderMode;
    }

    public void OnMetadataCreated(ModelMetadata metadata)
    {
        switch (RenderMode)
        {
            case RenderMode.DisplayModeOnly:
                metadata.ShowForDisplay = true;
                metadata.ShowForEdit = false;
                break;

            case RenderMode.EditModeOnly:
                metadata.ShowForDisplay = false;
                metadata.ShowForEdit = true;
                break;

            case RenderMode.None:
                metadata.ShowForDisplay = false;
                metadata.ShowForEdit = false;
                break;
        }
    }
}

public enum RenderMode
{
    Any,
    EditModeOnly,
    DisplayModeOnly
}
