I have this class and would like to display user friendly names. How to do it?

public static class NavigationRoles
{ 
    [Display(Name = "Structure d'offre de service")]
    public const string STRUCTURES = "STRUCTURES";
}

Trying this @Html.DisplayNameFor(m => NavigationRoles.STRUCTURES) in my view returns an InvalidOperationException: Templates can be used only with field access, property access, single-dimension array index, or single-parameter custom indexer expressions.

My localization deep dive might help you: https://joonasw.net/view/aspnet-core-localization-deep-dive :) – juunas Jan 14 '19 at 13:03
I guess you need a property not an attribute. Try adding `{get;set;}` – Anton Toshik Jan 14 '19 at 13:24
Thank you @AntonToshik you are right. Thanks! – Bellash Jan 14 '19 at 13:27

You don't need the set, especially if this is supposed to be a constant. Just do: `public string STRUCTURES { get; } = "STRUCTURES";`. – Chris Pratt Jan 14 '19 at 15:33
