You have to use entity query expression class.

Hi,

Refer this blog-

dynamics365blocks.wordpress.com/.../how-to-retrieve-display-name-of-an-attribute-in-dynamics-crm-using-c

Code snippet from the blog-

====================

public static string RetrieveAttributeDisplayName( string EntitySchemaName, string AttributeSchemaName, IOrganizationService service)

{

RetrieveAttributeRequest retrieveAttributeRequest = new RetrieveAttributeRequest

{

EntityLogicalName = EntitySchemaName,

LogicalName = AttributeSchemaName,

RetrieveAsIfPublished = true

};

RetrieveAttributeResponse retrieveAttributeResponse = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)service.Execute(retrieveAttributeRequest);

AttributeMetadata retrievedAttributeMetadata = (AttributeMetadata)retrieveAttributeResponse.AttributeMetadata;

//Get Length

// Int32 length = (Int32)((Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.StringAttributeMetadata)retrievedAttributeMetadata).MaxLength;

return retrievedAttributeMetadata.DisplayName.UserLocalizedLabel.Label;

}

====================

Hope this helps.
