Annotating properties on a model with default values

Question

I created an EF4.1 code-first model (may or may not be important), and I\'m trying to get default values for my Create scaffold template. My model looks like:

Answer 1

class Person {
    public Person() {
        Age = 18;    
    }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

In this scenario, every time you do a new Person age will be initialized with 18 as age, even when the new object is created by the Model Binder.
