How will I show the correct DsiplayName on my view considering the following model.

<% using (Html.BeginForm())
{%>
<table>

<td class="label">
<%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.User.UserPrimaryEmail)%>

</td>
<td class="field-error">
<div class="field-error-msg">
<%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.User.UserPrimaryEmail)%>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</asp:Content>
public class RegisterViewModel

public User User { get; set; }
}
[MetadataType(typeof(UserMetaData))]
public partial class User : UserBase
{
//Inherits from Generated Class UserBase
//to set default values here for the constructor

}
}
