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

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

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

You can modify all decimal propreties in database. In your DBContext in method OnModelCreating add line:

modelBuilder.Properties<decimal>().Configure(c => c.HasPrecision(18, 3));
