Visualforce + Metadata

Hi,
 
Is there any way to reference Metadata Objects in Visualorce pages or SControls?

Visualforce yes - no on scontrols and no plans to add anything new to scontrols going forward. VF formulas support a greatly enhanced version of $ObjectType that allows you to access the majority of information you can obtain via an API Describe call.

Code:
$ObjectType.Account.fields.name.label

would get you the localized label for  the Account.Name field. See the documentation for more info on $ObjectType.

Thanks for the reply Dough, Can I access Validation Rules and modify them using Visualforce ?
