Getting the caller name from inside of the view

Question

I'm invoking my view using

@Html.EditorFor(m => Model.FileListBefore)

I would like to get the 'FileListBefore' name from the inside of the view. How can I do that?

EDIT (more info):

'EditorFor(m => Model.FileListBefore)' uses my own sub-view. In that sub-view I want to retrieve the name of property which invoked this view.

Why? Because I'm calling

@Html.EditorFor(m => Model.FileListBefore)

@Html.EditorFor(m => Model.FileListAfter)

'FileListBefore' and 'FileListAfter' are the same type 'FileList' (my own class) and they call the same sub-view. I want to get the calling names ('FileListBefore' and 'FileListAfter) inside sub view because I want to identify them and add it do div 'id' value.

The question is unclear to me. However, to simply see the property name which invoked the view, you can add Debug.WriteLine("Inside <property name>"); inside every property so it gets printed in the Output Console of Visual Studio. If you want to print the name in a sub-view, you can add <p>@ViewBag.PropertyName</p> in the sub-view and add ViewBag.PropertyName="<property name>"; inside every property.

By every property I imply all those properties that could call this View.
