How to access DisplayName annotation within loop rather than from Model in Razor View?

This is probably a basic question, but I am currently missing the light on this one.

I usually use :

@Html.LabelFor(model=>model.myProperty)
@Html.DisplayFor(model=>model.myProperty)

Which displays the DisplayName annotation, from the View Model, for the property. Also DisplayFor displays the value.

However what if I want to iterate through a Model List and then do the same?

@foreach (var item in Model.myPropertyList)
{
  @Html.LabelFor(item=>item.myProperty) //No longer works
  @Html.DisplayFor(item=>item.myProperty) // No Longer works.
}

What should the code be in the foreach loop to pickup the Property DisplayName and value.

I realise that the following will work for displaying the value:

@item.myProperty

EDIT:

Answer seems to be:

@Html.DisplayNameFor(modelItem=>item.myProperty)
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem=>item.myProperty)

Found by helpers here and me.... team effort.... Thanks
