I have some interface and classes

public inteface IRole
{
  int Id { get; }
  string Name { get; set; }
}

public class Role : IRole
{
  public int Id { get; }
  [Display("Role Name")]
  public string Name { get; set; }
}

public class Member 
{
  [Display("Login")]
  public string Login { get; set; }
  [Display("Password")]
  public string Password { get; set; }
  public IRole Role { get; set; }
}

on View I try to use, View is strongly type of Member

on this line displays correct message from DisplayAttribute

<%= Html.LabelFor(m => m.Login) %>

on this line it does not display correct label from DisplayAttribute

<%= Html.LabelFor(m => m.Role.Name) %>

How can I fix this to have correct labels in such architecture?

Thanks

P.S. I know about adding DisplayAttribute to the interface field and all will work, but maybe there are different solution.
