0	AFAIK, we use the DataType Attribute to specify the data type associated with the data field . For ex: If you have a column like EmailAddress in database which is mostly a sting datatype like Nvarchar or varchar. You can use EmailAddress Datatype which is more specific than the database intrinsic types. // Add type information. [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)] public object EmailAddress; Check the below link which give you more details on of usage of datatype https://www.codeproject.com/articles/777856/asp-net-mvc-what-are-the-uses-of-datatype-and-disp Thanks, A2H My Blog Kumarkrishna184, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
