Print custom attribute in view from different controllers

Question

I'm trying print a custom attribute in a .cshtml view and I was reading this thread: asp.net mvc custom attributes It's very simple.

My custom attribute

public class TitleAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
    {
        protected string description;

        public TitleAttribute(String descritionIn)
        {
            this.description = descritionIn;
        }

        public String Description
        {
            get
            {
                return this.description;
            }
        }
    }

But this attribute can be used in different controllers and print this value in a shared layout.

HomeController

[Title("Start Page")]
public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View();
}

RequestController

[Title("This page is releated with request")]
public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View();
}

Is possible print the custom attribute value without use Reflection?

No.

If I got your point you'll need to modify your attribute to smth like:

public class TitleAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
    {
        protected string description;

        public TitleAttribute(String descritionIn)
        {
            this.description = descritionIn;
        }

        public String Description
        {
            get
            {
                return this.description;
            }
        }

        public override void OnResultExecuting(ResultExecutingContext filterContext)
        {
            filterContext.Controller.ViewBag.Title = description;
        }
    }
