Decimal(5, 1) MySql Data Type

Question

In one of tables I am using a Data Type of decimal(5,1) . I have looked at this reference . It specifically says D is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point (the scale). It has a range of 0 to 30 and must be no larger than M.

So, the property in my table that is of type decimal(5,1) is auto-filled at 0.00 on my Create page in my web application. How are the two '0's possible if it should only allow 1 digit to the right of the decimal point?

Answer 1

got the answer, in my Model I need to do:

[Display(Name = "Total:")]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:0.0}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)] /*Part I needed*/
[Required(ErrorMessage = "This field is required!")]
public decimal Total { get; set; }
