Question

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.
