I have a question for decimal value for set on model. In my SQL server, displaySize field type is decimal(18,1) How can I set the decimal type in model?
When I set like
public decimal displaySize { get; set; }
It display like 21.00 not 21. If I put 3.7, then it come out 3.70.
How do I set decimal format? It sounds simple question, but I am beginner MVC 3 currently. Could you give some answer? Thanks.
You can use the DisplayFormatAttribute on your model property:
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:0.###}")]
public decimal displaySize { get; set; }
The above will output a number with up to 3 decimal places.
Other custom numeric formats and standard numeric formats can also be used.
You could define a display format:
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:0.##}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public decimal displaySize { get; set; }
and then in your strongly typed view:
@Html.DisplayFor(x => x.displaySize)
or:
@Html.EditorFor(x => x.displaySize)
