    public class EmployeeMD {  
        [Display(Name = "Last Name", Order = -9,   
            Prompt = "Enter Last Name", Description="Emp Last Name")]  
        public object LastName { get; set; }

        public object Employee1 { get; set; }  
    }  
}  

Remarks

Do not use this property to get the value of the AutoGenerateFilter property. Use the GetAutoGenerateFilter method instead.

Setting this property overrides the default behavior for specifying which columns are included as filters.
