I think that the usage of  Html LabelForModel   should be explained in more detail   The LabelForModel Method returns an HTML label element and the property name of the property that is represented by the model   You could refer to the following code   Code in model   using System ComponentModel    DisplayName  MyModel    public class MyModel        DisplayName  A property        public string Test   get  set        Code in view    Html LabelForModel    lt div class  form-group  gt        Html LabelFor model   gt  model Test  new    class    control-label col-md-2           lt div class  col-md-10  gt           Html EditorFor model   gt  model Test           Html ValidationMessageFor model   gt  model Test       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    The output screenshot     Reference to answer on the asp net forum

Html Label - Just creates a label tag with whatever the string passed into the constructor is  Html LabelFor - Creates a label for that specific property  This is strongly typed  By default  this will just do the name of the property  in the below example  it ll output MyProperty if that Display attribute wasn t there   Another benefit of this is you can set the display property in your model and that s what will be put here   public class MyModel        Display Name  My property title       public class MyProperty get set       In your view   Html LabelFor x   gt  x MyProperty    Outputs My property title   In the above  LabelFor will display  lt label for  MyProperty  gt My property title lt  label gt   This works nicely so you can define in one place what the label for that property will be and have it show everywhere
