Passing values with the UIHint to the View

Question

With the UIHint you can also store some data on the model so you can react with that in the View. The Sintax as described in some blogs is:

[UIHint("TemplateToUse",null,"Variable1", "Value1", "Variable2", "Value2", ...)]
public string Something { get; set; }

---

And then I try to access this on the View with ViewData.ModelMetaData.AditioanlValues but the array returns empty!

Anyone have implemented this already to give me a "Hint" on how to use UIHint for this?
