Another code snippet with code .Net uses itself to perform this

{
    public static string GetDisplayName(
      this HtmlHelper html, 
      Expression> expression)
    {
        // Taken from LabelExtensions
        var metadata = ModelMetadata.FromLambdaExpression(expression, html.ViewData);

        string displayName = metadata.DisplayName;
        if (displayName == null)
        {
            string propertyName = metadata.PropertyName;
            if (propertyName == null)
            {
                var htmlFieldName = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression);
                displayName = ((IEnumerable) htmlFieldName.Split('.')).Last();
            }
            else
                displayName = propertyName;
        }

        return displayName;
    }
}
