How to store a specific float in Entity FrameWork

Question

I am trying to follow a guide from Google on how to store location data ( here ), but, I need to convert this to ASP.NET MVC C# and having a little trouble setting up the class.

I have just read this question , and, I think it is similar, but, I can't really understand the solution.

I was wondering if anyone can help me on how to store a [10,6] float in the an Entity Framework Code First Generated database, or, a better way of storing longitude and latitude in EF.

Answer 1

Can't you just use decimal instead of float ? I think the range and precision will be enough.

You can always create a decimal property for storing and a float property that will use the other one and do the conversion if you need float in the rest of your app.
