Default value in mvc model using data annotation

Question

Is it possible using data annotations to add default value for int property

something like

[DefaultValue=1] public int MyId {get; set;} 

Answer 1

Try this - set the default value in the constructor:

public class YOURMODEL {     public int MyId { get; set; }        public YOURMODEL()     {          MyId = 1;            } } 

---

Later addition by other user: Since C# 6.0 (2015) this simpler syntax has been allowed:

public class YOURMODEL {     public int MyId { get; set; } = 1; } 

Answer 2

Use [DefaultValue(false)].
