Class DynamicListAttribute

Represents an attribute which you can include in your view model's properties to indicate the property should be rendered as a Dynamic List. This class inherits from UIHintAttribute.

Namespace: DynamicVML.Options
Assembly: DynamicVML.dll
Syntax
public class DynamicListAttribute : UIHintAttribute
Remarks

Instead of specifying each of your views to add the extra parameters to EditorFor(), you can alternatively configure the DynamicList properties of your view models directly in your view model class definition using this attribute: 

public class AuthorViewModel
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Authored books")]
    [DynamicList("BookView", 
        ItemContainerTemplate = "MyCustomItemContainer", 
        ListTemplate = "MyCustomList",
        Method = RequestNewItemMethod.Post)]
    public virtual DynamicList<BookViewModel> Books { get; set; } = 
        new DynamicList<BookViewModel>();
}
Note

While this is possible, this is not exactly recommended as one could argue that specifying view parameters in your view models may add unnecessary coupling between your code and the presentation layer. However, if you really want to specify parameters this way, the library will let you do so.
