accepted You could use the AdditionalMetadata attribute: [ UIHint ( "DateTime" )] [ AdditionalMetadata ( "foo" , "bar" )] public DateTime Date { get ; set ; } and in the template: @ViewData . ModelMetadata . AdditionalValues [ "foo" ] so if you wanted to pass an url: [ UIHint ( "DateTime" )] [ AdditionalMetadata ( "controller" , "somecontroller" )] [ AdditionalMetadata ( "action" , "someaction" )] [ AdditionalMetadata ( "property" , "someproperty" )] public DateTime Date { get ; set ; } and in your template: @{ var values = ViewData . ModelMetadata . AdditionalValues ; } script type = "text/javascript" > $ ( '.auto' ). autocomplete ({ source : function ( request , response ) { $ . ajax ({ url : '@Url.Action((string)values["action"], (string)values["controller"])' , dataType : "json" , data : { filter : request . term }, success : function ( data ) { response ( $ . map ( eval ( data ), function ( item ) { return { label : item [ '@values["property"]' ] } }) ); } }); } }); script >
