Set decimal(16, 3) for a column in Code First Approach in EF4.3 [duplicate]

Answer 1

The DataType Attribute is a Validation Attribute. You need to do that using the ModelBuilder.

public class MyContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet MyClass;
    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Entity().Property(x => x.SnachCount).HasPrecision(16, 3);
        modelBuilder.Entity().Property(x => x.MinimumStock).HasPrecision(16, 3);
        modelBuilder.Entity().Property(x => x.MaximumStock).HasPrecision(16, 3);
    }
}
