SQL decimal equivalent in .NET


There's no exact equivalent type in .NET, as SQL's decimal type is fixed point, whereas .NET's System.Decimal type is a floating (decimal) point type.

However, System.Decimal is definitely the closest match, and should generally be what's used to represent the value stored in a decimal column in a SQL database.


Use Decimal, as can be seen in this table.
