Difference between LabelFor and DisplayFor

Question

I want to know exactly when to use @Html.DisplayFor and when to use @Html.LabelFor in MVC.

Everytime I work on them, it confuses me.

Answer 1

suppose you have a property model like this:

[Display("Name:")]
public string Name{get;set;}

and you need to show in your view like this:

Name: Mohammad

then you can do this:

@HTML.LabelFor(m=>m.Name)// this will show "Name:"
@Html.DisplayFor(m=m>m.Name)// this will show (read only) "Mohammad"
